It fits many vehicles, among them the 2000-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe, each with the L4-1.8L engine.

Engine gaskets seal the mating surfaces between engine components, helping keep fluids contained where they belong. Over time, repeated heat cycles can harden or compress a gasket. Signs a reseal may be needed include fluid seeping from engine joints or oily residue on the outside of the engine. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing parts, since other components can cause similar symptoms.
Before installing, clean every sealing surface and follow the vehicle service information for torque values, tightening sequence and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
