Perodua Ativa Cylinder Head Gasket

Today have a chance to look at how the Perodua Ativa 1.0 Turbo Cylinder Head Gasket looks like, actually this piece of gasket is not taken out from the Perodua Ativa engine, it actually dismantle off from Toyota Tank, which carry the engine code of 1KR-VET shown in above engine plate, which is same with the Perodua Ativa engine code.

So what is the differences of this 1KR-VET head gasket with the 1KR-DE2 that use in Perodua Axia? So we put this 2 pieces of gasket side by side for comparison as shown like above photo.

Anyway, at the time of writing, we still didn't stock this cylinder head gasket, which carry part number of 11115-B1050.

The oil cap on the Nissan Fairlady 350Z on the rocker cover have a very special filler shroud gasket, under the Nissan OEM number 13276-4P100, this gasket consider quite a big piece of rubber, but the place of this gasket located on the rocker cover seems is not for a function of prevent any oil leak, so I'm quite curious on what is the purpose and function of this gasket.

Toyota Vios NZE16# Rocker Cover Gasket

This Toyota Vios rocker cover gasket which is also under 1NZ-FE engine seems a bit different from the very first batch of Vios model, with part number 11213-21020, the area which connect the rocker cover outer part with the centre plug seal part have a C or U shape rubber connect to it, unlike the 11213-21011 the connection is just a straight forward connection to the plug seal.

As both engine code is under 1NZ-FE, to better differentiate the 2 type of rocker cover gasket, may be the older one is use on Vios NCP# series and the newer version is for Vios NZE# series.

 

Nissan Cefiro PA33 Intake Adaptor Gasket

Nissan Cefiro PA33 with VQ25DD engine is not a common engine found in Malaysia market, the intake adaptor gasket for this engine is using a bit of different material design compare to other VQ series engine intake adaptor gasket.

Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Cylinder Head Gasket

Today got a chance to touched the physical stock of this Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Cylinder Head Gasket, with the engine code RZ4E-TC, it also known as Blue Power engine, which there have 2 fun facts according to the Drive Save and Fast website.

1. The name of this new engine, RZ4E, represents a change in Isuzu’s engine naming convention. Previous Isuzu engines would often use a digit to indicate number of cylinders, followed by an alphabet or two to indicate engine family. The 4 seems to be relocated behind the engine family designation..
2. ‘Blue’ is commonly used in marketing spiel to describe modern, efficient diesel engines. Beyond Isuzu, at least two other brands use ‘Blue’ in the names of their diesel tech. The Mr. Tateyama confirms the colour has nothing to do with anything. I suppose Green was too busy being associated with electric and petrol powertrains.

Other than the fun facts as shown above, other interesting fact can be found at the DSF website link here.

Chery QQ 1.1 SQR472 Gasket Kit

Today this post is to share a very interesting China made engine SQR472 which is made for Chery QQ 1.1 model, take a closer look at the head gasket, you may find it seems familiar but it should be a 3 cylinder head gasket.

Yes, it is looks a like of what the Daihatsu EJ-DE engine which is use in Perodua Kenari Kelisa in Malaysia market, but EJ-DE is 3 cylinder but Chery had modified a bit by adding an extra cylinder for this engine.

You will find that the oil pump and waterpump gasket is similar to the EJ-DE gasket, even for the rocker cover gasket, it is similar design with longer dimension to suit for the 4 cylinder head length.

Actually Chery have another model call SQR372 with 3 cylinder engine which should be same or similar to the EJ-DE type of engine, the number in engine SQR472, which 4 may stand for 4 cylinder and 72 stand for engine piston bore diameter, same explanation may applied for SQR372.

As the SQR472 is the China develop engine, their OEM engine parts should be all made in China with no other country will manufacture it, unless the common interchangeable items with the EJ-DE engine.

This post we sharing the photo of head gasket, the flywheel oil seal with the metal housing, their rocker cover gasket and a photo of the engine overhaul kit with the piston and timing belt kit in it.

The previous T6 and T7 model which we found the Ford original parts label is printing "Made in USA" on it, we found this EcoBlue Diesel model, the Ford original parts label for the cylinder head gasket is printing "Made in Germany", is it that Victor Reinz is the original gasket manufacturer for this model since Victor Reinz is Germany brand gasket manufacturer.
