1KR-VET Rocker Cover Gasket

Perodua had just launched their first SUV recently name Ativa, from the vehicle specification we can found that it use 3 cylinder turbocharge 1KR-VET engine, it it sound a bit familiar with the Perodua Axia which use 1KR-DE2 engine, both from the 1KR family with the 1KR-VET bolt on with a turbocharger.

So is they using similar gasket? We take a look at one well-known Japan parts website jp-carparts.com, we found that most of the gasket part number is different for both 1KR model, from the rocker cover diagram, you may find this 1KR-VET rocker cover gasket looks similar with the 1KR-DE2 type, but it have 3 extra small square or rectangular box shape as pointed by the 3 orange arrow in the above photo.

Of course Ativa is still a new launching model which we sure not in the rush to keep this gasket in our inventories, furthermore, we still need to observe if the local Ativa 1KR-VET is really exactly the same engine with the one using in Japan.
