Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv engine is different from their previous version of CX-5 which mainly using LF, L3, L5 engine, the Skyactiv version is mainly using PE and PY engine code for their 2.0 and 2.5 version.

It is more straight forward on the Skyactiv engine gasket parts, which can be known from their parts number, for PE engine, their head gasket and rocker cover gasket will use PE01-10-271 and PE01-10-235, while for the PY engine, their part number will be PY01-10-271 and PY01-10-235.

Toyota 2TG and 18RG Full Set Gasket

It had been a long time ago when we keep considering and actually made decision to stop continue importing Toyota 2TG (2T-GEU) and 18RG (18R-GEU) full set gasket for the domestic market here in Malaysia, indeed, if only considering the demand for the Malaysia market, we should be stop importing it much earlier.

But there are oversea customer that continue inquire for this 2 type of gasket, which I'm feeling impress with their ability to continue to keep those classic Toyota Celica and Carina in the tip top condition, but I feel this time should be our last batch on importing this 2 model of gasket, as everyone now is talking about the disruption of combustion engine which will be take over by EV in the next 10 years time.

Mitsubishi Evolution X Full Set Gasket

Mitsubishi Evolution series from 1 to 9 version is basically is power by the 4G63 platform, although from 1 to 9, the engine have many improvement but basically we can see some similarity on their gasket side due to there are from 4G63 family.

But Mitsubishi Evolution X ( EVO X ) is using an engine totally different from 4G63 series, it is 4B11T engine.

The 4Bseries engine, with 4B10, 4B11 and 4B12 is consider a joint development engine between Mitsubishi and Hyundai Kia, with Hyundai Kia using the engine code like G4KC, but later on both Mitsubishi and Hyundai Kia is building their new engine base on this 4Bseries platform for their own new model, 4B11T and 4J10 can be consider from Mitsubishi and G4NC for Hyundai Kia.

The 4B11T engine have a special flywheel oil seal with metal housing on it which other 4Bseries flywheel oil seal is just purely an oil seal without the metal housing.

The turbocharger gasket kit content in the 4B11T full set is also different from other turbocharger found in 4G63 engine, from their size of design, it seem the turbocharger in 4B11T produce much more power than those in 4G63 bolt in turbocharger.
