Troubleshooting & FAQ

Will this gasket set fit my Yanmar 3JH series engine?

This set is specifically for Yanmar models 3JH2E and 3JH2TE manufactured between 1989 and 2005. It is not guaranteed to fit other 3JH series engines. Always verify your engine model and year before ordering.

Are valve stem seals included in this kit?

Yes, the package contents list includes "Valve Stem Rubbers." We recommend inspecting all contents upon arrival to ensure they match the requirements for your specific engine rebuild.

What are the common signs of a blown head gasket?

Symptoms of a failing head gasket include engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust (burning coolant), milky or frothy engine oil (coolant contamination), loss of compression, or external coolant and oil leaks from the cylinder head joint.

Is this a complete kit for a full engine overhaul?

This is a complete cylinder head gasket set, which includes the essential gaskets and seals for a top-end engine rebuild. It does not include pistons, rings, or other bottom-end components.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
