Head Gasket Set - B230
Mahle - HS5727W - 270689 - 101383
Product Description
Description
Most gasket failures are simply due to old age. The material becomes hard and brittle over time and loses the ability to seal or may crack from being handled during normal maintenance procedures. If you are unsure of how old the gaskets are on your engine, be sure to have replacements on hand before you tear into that next project.
Head gasket sets include the head gasket and most gaskets and seals from the head/block surface up. Does not include the plug used on the back of the head for 240 models.
Please note:
This kit is meant to include the 4 lower fuel injector seals, where the injectors press into the intake manifold. For ease of packaging Victor Reinz simply includes 2 pre-packaged fuel injector seal kits. The particular fuel injector seal kits they include happen to have extra pieces not meant for the injectors used on these engines. The pintle caps, gray plastic spacers and 2 additional injector seals highlighted in the photo at right are NOT used in this installation.
