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.
