We put together this engine gasket kit to help ease searching for everything. These are Mahle Grade C gaskets 1.05" thickness Left/ Right hand side along with the complete engine gasket kit. We coupled this with the new Xotic Performance Head Stud kit which has proven to be reliable and cost effective. Coupled with the Head Gaskets and the Engine Gasket Kit, is the Xotic Performance Head Stud kits.
In every diesel car, there are high cylinder pressures that can damage head gaskets. Factory OEM head bolts are torque to yield, meaning you torque the bolt to a specific torque with a final 90-degree rotation that will place the bolt at its’ maximum stretch point.
Please note - primary head bolts must all have the same length. There is a Mid-Year split on the head bolts, if you have 2 different size head bolts this kit is NOT for YOU.
