Toyota GR Yaris G16E-GTS Engine

The Toyota GR Yaris had been launched in Malaysia on December 2020, the introduction for this vehicle can be found in the Paultan website here.

What making it interesting is the engine they use, firstly, the engine code is G16E-GTS, which is rather special for Toyota when their traditional engine code is start with numeric, and it is a 3 cylinders turbocharged engine, the Wikipedia introduce the engine with the link here. 

And with the rather new engine, it is quite impossible to find the gasket info for now, but in the Toyota-club.net website we can get some idea on how the gasket looks like with some of the diagram they share in their website here.

 

Ford Ranger T8 2.0 EcoBlue Diesel Engine Gasket Kit

In this post, just to share another gasket parts that is not develop in Japan, Malaysia have the new Ford Ranger T8 2.0 BiTurbo which it is also call an EcoBlue Diesel engine, same as the previous Ford Ranger T6 and T7 2.2 and 3.2 model, it is the Ford engine that didn't involve Mazda like the earlier WL and WE engine model, we actually can't get any info from Japan gasket manufacturer. 

From the Google search, beside the Ford original part, we found that Victor Reinz gasket also have this gasket info.

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.

 

Isuzu D-Max V Cross 4JJ1 Head Gasket

When come to the Isuzu D-Max 3.0 with 4JJ1 engine cylinder head gasket, initially thought it will be straight forward with the head gasket like the left side of the above photo, until when a customer take out the head gasket from Isuzu D-Max V Cross also with the 4JJ1 engine code, it appear the head gasket had 2 holes extra as like show in the orange circle at the gasket in above photo.

Suzuki R06A Cylinder Head Gasket

I'm still not sure if the Suzuki Alto with R06A engine is available in Malaysia market, but the R06A engine caught my eye when I found that quite a lot of Suzuki K-Car list is currently using this engine, even it can be found in some Nissan model.

So when I try to look for the gasket info, and found that there are at least 2 types of cylinder head gasket for this R06A engine (May be there are more as that is the info I get on the time of writing), so it make me caught in a position that which piece should I order in stock.

The above photo with OEM Part Number 11141-50MA1 is found on Suzuki Alto HA36S while the photo below with OEM Part Number 11141-50M02 is found in Suzuki MR Wagon MF33S, this engine may already use at Maruti Suzuki India for their Maruti Alto model, at the moment should put on hold of ordering this gasket until I can confirm which type is exist in Malaysia market.

Subaru EJ205 Rocker Cover Gasket

Today a customer bring the Subaru Impreza EJ205 rocker cover to look for its gasket, plug seal and the cover bush, thinking that we already stock most of the Subaru EJ series rocker cover gasket, I confidently take out all the items he needed for him.

With one side of the rocker cover gasket is correct, and there are no problem for the 4 pieces plug seal and 16 pieces cover bush, the remaining side of the rocker cover gasket caught me by surprise.

With the other side rocker cover gasket is correct, our record for the other side should be 13270-AA151, but when you check with the above rocker cover photo, you will found that 13270-AA151 have 2 extra guide pop up from the gasket as shown in the below photo with the pink circle.

And the correct parts should be 13270-AA171 shown in below photo, as due to 13270-AA171 is never seen at the catalogue I have, I not aware for its exitance and didn't stock it up, my customer have to look for Subaru dealer for the genuine parts for this piece.

  

 

Subaru WRX STi EJ257 Full Set Gasket Kit

Having some full set gasket kit of Subaru Impreza EJ204 in stock, when a customer asking for the Subaru WRX STI EJ257 full set gasket kit, I try to figure out what should be replace in the EJ204 gasket set content, in the first photo, the 2 pieces of cylinder head gasket need to be change, the 2 pieces of main intake manifold gasket and the waterpump gasket is same, and there are 2 pieces extra surge manifold gasket to put in, plus a piece of different type of throttle body gasket.

 

The exhaust manifold gasket, exhaust pipe gasket, timing cover gasket is basically same for both EJ204 and EJ257.

In the above photo, the rocker cover gasket need to be change, and you may take out the 16 pieces of rocker cover bush and 4 pieces of half moon seal from EJ204 as the EJ257 type of design didn't use those item, other o-ring items is basically same for both model, but the 4 pieces of gasket in the bottom right of the above photo is not in EJ204, until here, I just lack of this 4 pieces of gasket.

Photo in bottom showing the flywheel oil seal which is same size for both engine, of course it just need one piece for an engine, below photo is just for illustrated purpose.
