Chery QQ 1.1 SQR472 Gasket Kit

Today this post is to share a very interesting China made engine SQR472 which is made for Chery QQ 1.1 model, take a closer look at the head gasket, you may find it seems familiar but it should be a 3 cylinder head gasket.

Yes, it is looks a like of what the Daihatsu EJ-DE engine which is use in Perodua Kenari Kelisa in Malaysia market, but EJ-DE is 3 cylinder but Chery had modified a bit by adding an extra cylinder for this engine.

You will find that the oil pump and waterpump gasket is similar to the EJ-DE gasket, even for the rocker cover gasket, it is similar design with longer dimension to suit for the 4 cylinder head length.

Actually Chery have another model call SQR372 with 3 cylinder engine which should be same or similar to the EJ-DE type of engine, the number in engine SQR472, which 4 may stand for 4 cylinder and 72 stand for engine piston bore diameter, same explanation may applied for SQR372.

As the SQR472 is the China develop engine, their OEM engine parts should be all made in China with no other country will manufacture it, unless the common interchangeable items with the EJ-DE engine.
