MAHLE Exhaust Manifold Gasket P/N:MS19548

Seal the joint between exhaust manifold and cylinder head with the MAHLE Exhaust Manifold Gasket (P/N MS19548) — a multi-layered steel gasket designed to withstand the extreme heat and pressure cycles at that connection on the 2001-2002 Kia Rio.

• Multi-Layered Steel Construction: Built from multi-layered steel to handle high exhaust temperatures and resist warping or blowout under thermal cycling.
• OEM Standard Grade: Rated at OEM Standard, meaning it is engineered to match the sealing performance of the original factory specification.
• Direct-Fit Application: Designed as a direct replacement for the 2001-2002 Kia Rio — no trimming, modification, or machining required for a proper fit.
• Single Gasket Included: Package contains one (1) exhaust manifold gasket; verify your vehicle's quantity requirement before ordering.
• Sealed Mating Surface: Functions as a stationary seal between the fixed manifold flange and the cylinder head face, containing exhaust gases and directing them into the exhaust system.

Note: This listing includes the gasket only. Manifold hardware (studs, nuts, fasteners) is not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether originals may be reused.

An exhaust manifold gasket that is failing may show its condition through a ticking or tapping sound from the engine bay — often loudest when cold and quieting somewhat as the metal expands at operating temperature. A burnt or acrid exhaust smell inside or near the engine compartment can signal that hot gases are escaping at the manifold joint rather than flowing through the exhaust system. In some cases an oxygen sensor located near the leak may log a fault code. If any of these signs point to a manifold leak on the 2001-2002 Kia Rio, replacing the gasket addresses the sealing surface directly.
