A gasket set supplies gaskets that seal the mating surfaces between engine components. They are designed to keep fluids and gases in their intended passages once the engine is reassembled. A full set is commonly installed during an engine rebuild or major overhaul, when many joints are opened at once.
Signs that an engine may be due for resealing include external fluid leaks at gasket joints. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing parts. During installation, follow the vehicle service information for torque values and tightening sequence. It also tells you which fasteners are correct and whether the originals may be reused.
