Mitsubishi EVO 7,8 & 9 Rocker Cover Gasket

For Mitsubishi Evolution in 4G63 engine code series of model, there are basically 2 types of rocker cover gasket that commonly sell in Malaysia market, which one of them is the older model of 4G63 VR4 DOHC rocker cover gasket and another newer a bit with 4G63 Air Trek DOHC rocker cover gasket.

And for the above 2 types of rocker cover gasket, they have a similar number of the curve area (which the curve may serve for the camshaft area) which is total 3 of them.

But there are one latest 4G63 EVO engine with the rocker cover gasket having 4 cam curve on it, what they mention is for Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 7, 8 and 9 on the engine chassis CT9A, which is still new in Malaysia market.

Daihatsu Range of Turbo Housing Gasket

Actually I'm not really familiar with the Turbocharger code or their name, so I prefer to go with the engine code with their original turbocharger, as we know some may modified a more powerful turbocharge on the original one to increase the horse power.

For Daihatsu range, it is better for customer to mention it is for JB-JL or JB-DET or EF-RL instead of mentioning it is IHI-RHF3 which I will scratch my head wondering what this is.
