FAQs
Does this kit include valve stem seals?
Yes, the complete kit is designed to provide all necessary seals for a total engine overhaul.
Should I apply oil to the gaskets during installation?
Unless specified by your service manual, most modern gaskets are designed to be installed dry or with a specific approved gasket dressing.
Can I reuse these gaskets if I need to open the engine again?
No, gaskets are intended for single use. Once compressed, they lose their ability to form a reliable seal upon reassembly.
How do I ensure I have the right kit?
Cross-reference the Athena part number P400485850032 with your vehicle's specific engine code or consult the Athena application catalog.
Are these gaskets better than OEM?
Athena gaskets are engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, providing an excellent alternative for high-performance and reliable engine sealing.
Troubleshooting
Visible leak immediately after assembly
Verify that all bolts were torqued in the correct pattern and to the factory-specified poundage.
Gasket appears slightly different than the original
Check the part number on the packaging against your vehicle's engine identification number; manufacturers sometimes update gasket materials for improved performance.
Difficulty seating a gasket
Ensure the engine surface is free of nicks, burrs, or debris and that the locating pins are aligned correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, thoroughly clean all mating surfaces with a gasket scraper and non-residue degreaser before installation. Verify that no old gasket material remains, as this will lead to leaks. When installing, follow the manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications provided in your vehicle service manual. Use a torque wrench to ensure even pressure across the engine components. If required by your engine manual, apply a thin layer of manufacturer-approved sealant to specific corners or T-joints. Store unused gaskets in a flat, cool, and dry environment to prevent warping or material degradation.
