Peugeot 207 Rocker Cover Gasket

 

Today post let's take a look on a very special rocker cover gasket design from a continental model, the Peugeot 207 is actually have quite few model with model with different engine, one of the engine, their rocker cover gasket is not like those conventional type of rubber gasket that we usually encounter. Instead it is made like a plastic plate like the above photo, with 2 2 small holes in the middle of the plate have o-ring fit on it.

This type of rocker cover gasket I still can't find a rather similar design for the Japanese car model engine, the best similar design should be like those in Korean model of Kia Carnival V6 type of rocker cover gasket.

In this post let us take a look for a parts that the engine which is not developed from Japan.

Ford Ranger T6, unlike the previous Ford Ranger model that is using the Mazda Fighter WL and WE engine, T6 is the Ford develop engine in USA.

Ford Ranger T6 2.2 is a 4 cylinder engine and the 3.2 version is 5 cylinder engine, let us have a look at their plastic intake manifold in the above photo, which is for the 2.2 engine, as you can see in a normal 4 cylinder engine normally it will design as such the intake manifold gasket, if it is the O-Ring type, it will 4 pieces for each engine also, but the T6 model had design as such it need 8 pieces of O-ring in one engine.

And for the 3.2 5 Cylinder model, the intake manifold O-Ring will be 10 pieces in one engine.

Nissan X-Trail T31 and Renault Koleos 2.5 Rocker Cover Gasket

 

The first Nissan X-Trail in Malaysia is using the Nissan QR20DE and QR25DE engine and is introduce in the T30 model, after that the T31 model came in, with the same engine code of QR25DE, but we found there are some changes in the design of their gasket, the photo show a rocker cover gasket for Nissan X-Trail T31 model which is different from the T30 variant.

Interestingly, we found that there are one Renault model is using the same engine, the Renault Koleos 2.5, this may be during then time when Renault and Nissan become strategic alliance in the year 1999, since then there are few Nissan model come with the Renault engine and some Renault engine come with Nissan engine.
