Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the engine coolant and oil.
  2. Carefully disconnect all fuel lines, electrical connectors, and exhaust components attached to the cylinder head.
  3. Remove the valve cover, rocker arm assembly, and pushrods in sequence.
  4. Following the service manual, loosen the head bolts in the specified sequence and remove the cylinder head.
  5. Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean both the cylinder head and engine block mating surfaces. Ensure they are free of debris, oil, and old gasket material.
  6. Position the new head gasket correctly on the engine block, ensuring proper alignment.
  7. Carefully place the cylinder head back onto the block.
  8. Install and torque the head bolts to the manufacturer's exact specifications in the correct sequence. This is critical for a proper seal.
  9. Reassemble the pushrods, rocker arm assembly, and valve cover.
  10. Reconnect all previously removed components (hoses, lines, connectors).
  11. Refill the engine with fresh oil and the correct type of coolant.
  12. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and carefully check for any coolant, oil, or exhaust leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my engine?

This kit is designed for Yanmar 3JH4E, 3JH5, 3JH5E, and 3JH5AE series engines. It is also listed as compatible with 3TNV88 & 3D88E models by some suppliers. Critically, you must verify your engine model and confirm the OEM part number is 729271-92600 before purchasing.

What are the common signs of a failed head gasket?

Symptoms of a blown head gasket include engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust (burning coolant), milky or foamy engine oil, loss of compression, bubbles in the radiator or coolant reservoir, and unexplained coolant loss.

Does this kit include everything for a complete engine rebuild?

No, this is a cylinder head gasket kit, not a full overhaul kit. It contains the specific gaskets, seals, and O-rings required for servicing the cylinder head only. Please review the "What’s in the Box" section for a complete list of included parts.

Should I replace the cylinder head bolts when using this kit?

While head bolts are not included, we strongly recommend consulting your engine's service manual. Many modern engines use torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts that stretch during installation and are single-use only. Reusing them can lead to improper sealing and gasket failure.

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.

Shipping speed & cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

Warranty & returns?

Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.

Safety & Important Info

  • Verify images and specifications against your original part. If anything differs—even if your model appears compatible—do not purchase.
  • This is an aftermarket replacement, not an OEM component.
  • Professional installation is recommended for safety and performance.
