A cylinder head gasket seals the combustion chamber, preventing combustion gases from escaping and keeping coolant and oil from mixing with each other or entering the combustion chamber.
This gasket is designed for specific Suzuki Swift III (2005-2017) and Fiat Punto (2003-2005) and Panda (2004-2006) models equipped with 1.3 DDiS or 1.3 JTD/Multijet engines. Always verify exact fitment.
MLS stands for Multilayer Steel. This design uses multiple layers of steel to provide superior strength, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and pressures compared to traditional composite gaskets.
Installing a cylinder head gasket is a complex mechanical task that requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is generally recommended to have this service performed by a qualified mechanic.
No, this BERU Multilayer Steel gasket is designed to be installed dry without any additional sealant on the gasket itself.
Key specifications include a thickness of 0.82mm, 3 layers, and specific measurements for piston protrusion (0.128-0.227mm) and diameter (70.6mm). The part number is 076.358.
Yes, the product information indicates 'Additionally required articles (article numbers): 374.240'. This likely refers to specific head bolts or other related components.
Ensure the cooling system is properly bled of air. Check for any coolant leaks around the gasket mating surfaces. Verify the thermostat is functioning correctly.
This may indicate coolant entering the combustion chamber. Re-check gasket installation, cylinder head flatness, and torque specifications. Inspect for cracks in the cylinder head.
Ensure the gasket is correctly seated and all related components (e.g., spark plugs, injectors) are properly installed and torqued. Check for exhaust or intake leaks.
This is a critical sign of gasket failure. The gasket may be improperly installed, or there might be damage to the cylinder head or block. The installation will need to be redone.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this gasket (Part Number: 076.358) is compatible with your specific vehicle model, year, and engine variant. Pay close attention to the listed vehicle compatibility and double-check measurements and dimensions against your existing gasket or vehicle specifications. Variations can occur even within the same model range.
Installation: Installation of a cylinder head gasket is a complex procedure that requires specialized tools and mechanical expertise. The cylinder head must be removed, cleaned, and checked for flatness. The gasket must be installed dry, without any sealant, onto a clean engine block and cylinder head surface. Proper torque specifications and tightening sequences for the cylinder head bolts must be strictly followed as per the vehicle's service manual.
Care: Once installed, cylinder head gaskets require no specific maintenance. However, regular engine coolant level checks and monitoring for any signs of leaks (e.g., white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss, oil in coolant) are recommended. The use of high-quality coolant and adherence to recommended service intervals for the engine will help ensure the longevity of the gasket and the engine.
