Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and allow the engine to cool completely before starting work.
  2. Drain the engine coolant and disconnect all hoses, wiring, and components attached to the cylinder head.
  3. Carefully remove the cylinder head bolts in the reverse order of the manufacturer's tightening sequence.
  4. Clean both the engine block and cylinder head surfaces meticulously. Ensure they are free of old gasket material, oil, and debris.
  5. Place the new head gasket onto the engine block, ensuring correct orientation with dowel pins. Do not use sealant unless specified by the engine manufacturer.
  6. Carefully lower the cylinder head into place.
  7. Install and tighten the head bolts in the sequence and to the torque specifications recommended in your engine's service manual. This is critical for a proper seal.
  8. Reconnect all components and refill the cooling system.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this gasket fits my Yanmar engine?

This gasket is for the 4JH3 series. Please verify your exact model (e.g., 4JH3-TE, 4JH3-HTE) and cross-reference the OEM part number 129693-01331. Check the compatibility table and your engine's service manual to ensure a match.

What are the signs of a faulty head gasket?

Common symptoms include engine overheating, loss of power, white smoke from the exhaust (coolant burning), milky or frothy engine oil, or external coolant/oil leaks from the seam between the cylinder head and block.

Is any gasket sealant or adhesive required for installation?

Generally, modern head gaskets like this one are designed to be installed dry. Using sealants can interfere with the gasket's ability to seal properly. Always follow the specific instructions in your Yanmar service manual.

How often should a head gasket be replaced?

A head gasket is not a routine maintenance item. It should only be replaced when it fails or during a complete engine overhaul. Its lifespan depends on operating conditions, maintenance, and proper installation.

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?
