Mitsubishi 6G75 Full Set Gasket Kit

Mitsubishi Pajero V6 engine in highest CC displacement should be the under 6G75 engine code with 3827cc, there are quite some model with 6G75 engine like V77W, DJ3A, D81W, DK4A and DJ5A, but this model is using the same cylinder head gasket for left and right side for the engine.

For model like V87W and V97W, the cylinder head gasket for left side is different part number from the right side, this is quite uncommon for Mitsubishi V6 range of engine which they normally design as such both side of gasket is using the same part number.

Photo are the gasket kit for the Pajero V87W and V97W model with KP part number KFS401242 and Mitsubishi part number 1000A669.

Honda S800 Engine Gasket

Today while browsing the Facebook, found some very beautiful Honda S800 photo in Hong Kong Automobile Magazine Facebook page, the Honda S800 is the Honda sports car introduced in 1965 Tokyo Motor Show, and in the production during 1966 to 1970.

In Malaysia, I'm hardly see a Honda S800 on the road, and don't know whether it is exist in Malaysia or not, so far I don't have any customer asking about this model engine gasket.

Out of curiosity, I also wish to check how the gasket kit for this Honda S800 looks like, it seems there are not much info after searching at the Google, and the best I can find is seem the gasket kit only have 2 pieces of gasket which is a cylinder head gasket, and one timing chain passage gasket.

Anyway for the car itself, it seem there are quite a lot still maintain in very nice condition, it is not sure if the gasket can be easily found on those country which have the Honda S800, but we are absolutely don't have this gasket and don't have any idea where to get it locally in Malaysia.

Toyota Supra B58 Cylinder Head Gasket

The new Toyota Supra is already known by their fans that they phase out the use of 2JZ-GTE engine, and change the engine which use in the BMW new Z4 M40i, the engine code for this BMW engine is B58B30M1 which Toyota just using the B58 engine code for their Supra series.

As this is consider a new engine, which most of the catalogue may not feature this engine gasket, out of curiosity, found a YouTube video that they tear down the Supra B58 engine for an upgrade, in this case I'm able the peek the looks of the cylinder head gasket.

From the video, it seems this engine also not using the rocker cover gasket, since the original gasket is not produce in Japan but in Germany, will Japan high performance parts company such as HKS and Tomei will produce the higher spec of this cylinder head gasket in the future?

Toyota 2ZR-FE Camshaft Bearing Cap Oil Hole Gasket

The local Toyota Altis ZRE# model is using the 2ZR-FE engine, which basically is the same engine family for 1ZR-FE and 3ZR-FE with different CC, and use on model like Auris, Avensis ZRE# or ZRF# model, there are one piece of gasket at the camshaft bearing cap oil hole as on above photo.

The gasket is shown in the above diagram with the indicator number 11159H, and the gasket is like the below photo, we found this piece of gasket is included on the KP rocker cover gasket set, so can we consider this piece of gasket need to be change whenever the rocker cover gasket replacement is carry out? As we still found quite a lot of them just buying the rocker cover gasket and plug seal for the gasket replacement and didn't include this piece of gasket.

Daihatsu KF-DET KF-VE engine gasket

The Daihatsu engine code KF-DET and KF-VE, which is a 3 cylinder 660cc 12 valve engine, can be found in model like Daihatsu Sonica and Toyota Pixis Space model, in the recent year, we found the new model of Daihatsu Copen also starting to use the KF-DET engine.

Recently we found a local customer looking for this gasket, which surprisingly is use on the Daihatsu Hijet mini truck, as the Malaysia Daihatsu only selling the 3SZ-VE variant of truck locally, this mini truck should be imported directly from Japan used car market.

Daihatsu YRV, Gran Max Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Daihatsu YRV Tubo and Gran Max model, which using the K3-VET and 3SZ-VE engine, is the engine very similar to the previous version of Perodua MVYI and Toyota Avanza which using the K3-VE and 2SZ-FE engine.

Interesting to find out that the exhaust manifold gasket for the YRV or Gran Max type have extra 2 holes compare to the MYVI and Avanza version, it seems like the lesser holes version can be use on all model, is the extra 2 screw holes serve any purpose? Is it because of the turbo version of YRV need extra tightening on the exhaust manifold side to prevent leaking?
