Nissan Juke 1.6 Gasket Kit

 

Nissan Juke 1.6 which is using the HR16DDT engine, have some interesting design made on the gasket, most may thought that HR16DDT should be in some kind of relation with the HR16DE engine, that's not wrong, with the cylinder head gasket is basically get a modification from the HR16DE type of cylinder head gasket.

But the rocker cover gasket, it is surprisingly using the MR18DE/MR20DE type of gasket, and the intake manifold gasket is also a bit modification from Nissan Serena C26 which is MR20 engine. The exhaust manifold gasket is with the heat insulation design, which is different from the flat exhaust manifold gasket design from HR16DE or MR18DE engine.

Ford Mustang 2.3 Full Set Gasket Kit

In the earlier post we show what is the design of the Ford Mustang 2.3 Rocker Cover Gasket, this post we share a photo of Ford Mustang 2.3 Full Set Gasket Kit.

The rocker cover gasket is pack in a plastic bag in the bottom left of the photo, so you may refer to the earlier post on the photo of rocker cover gasket.

As you can see, the cylinder head gasket also have the design looks alike those in Mazda LF, L3 and L5 engine and also those in the Ford Focus III, but still this gasket is design specific for the Mustang model which the gasket from other model can't interchange to this engine.

The gasket in the centre of the photo is the exhaust manifold gasket which also have different design from the conventional exhaust manifold gasket which normally have 4 exhaust holes for this 4 cylinder engine.

The flywheel oil seal looks like same with those Mazda LF, L3 and L5 model but it is still not sure for me now as I don't have this physical parts to compare it with the Mazda model. 
 

Ford Mustang 2.3 Rocker Cover Gasket

This Ford Mustang 2.3 Rocker Cover Gasket looks very much like those Ford Escape 2.3 or Mazda 6 with L5 engine type of gasket, the differences from this piece of rocker cover gasket is that it have 2 curve at one side of this gasket but the other version is flat all the way.

The centre par is same have 3 pieces of gasket which 2 pieces is a bit square and 1 piece is a bit rectangular in shape, but it have extra 2 piece of oil seal like gasket which the other version don't have it in the rocker cover design.

Nissan Serena C26 Intake Manifold Gasket

The Nissan Serena C26 is using the MR20DD engine, it seems their engine gasket should be roughly interchangeable with the MR18DE or MR20DE engine, but the manifold system in this MR20DD engine have little modification from the MR20DE type.

As the Nissan HR and MR series of engine, is design as such once you change the rocker cover gasket, you may need to change the intake manifold gasket as well, the MR20DE and MR20DD engine is sharing the same type of rocker cover gasket but not the intake manifold gasket.

The photo show the intake manifold gasket for Serena C26 model which carry the OEM part number 14035-1VA5B.

Honda Transmission Linear Solenoid Gasket

This piece of gasket which found in quite a number of Honda model in their transmission linear solenoid area, for the whole transmission there are 2 solenoid which another one using a bigger gasket, it may be not belong to the engine area, and is fall under transmission parts, since we are in the gasket field, sometime we also need to source some gasket at the transmission side for customer.

Is it really the rocker cover gasket for Toyota Vios?

This piece of rocker cover gasket is belong to the Toyota 1NZ-FE engine, which in Malaysia market mostly the first few generation of Vios NCP model are using, but this piece of rocker cover gasket is not really for Vios, the plug seal connection area with the rocker cover gasket, the traditional Vios rocker cover gasket is straight to the plug seal holes, and not like what you see in the photo have a U shape connection on it.

In the website, we can see some of the Toyota Corolla Fielder which having 1NZ-FXP engine on it is using this type of rocker cover gasket. Or there are one generation of Vios is Malaysia is using this type of rocker cover gasket before it change to the 2NR type of engine.
