Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and completely drain the engine coolant.
- Remove obstructing components like the intake/exhaust manifolds, valve cover, and any accessories.
- Following the reverse of the torque sequence, loosen and remove the cylinder head bolts in stages.
- Carefully lift the cylinder head off the engine block. Avoid using pry tools that could damage the mating surfaces.
- Thoroughly clean all old gasket material and residue from both the cylinder head and engine block surfaces.
- Position the new head gasket correctly on the engine block, ensuring proper alignment with dowel pins.
- Lower the cylinder head into place without sliding it, which could damage the new gasket.
- Install new or verified-to-spec head bolts, torquing them in the manufacturer-specified sequence and stages.
- Reassemble all previously removed components.
- Refill the cooling system, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for any leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my head gasket is failing?
Common signs include white smoke from the exhaust (coolant burn), engine overheating, bubbling in the radiator or coolant reservoir, milky/foamy engine oil, or unexplained coolant loss. A compression test can help confirm a leak between cylinders or into the cooling system.
Is this gasket compatible with turbocharged 4JH3 models like the 4JH3-TCE?
Yes, this cylinder head gasket is designed to fit both naturally aspirated and turbocharged models within the Yanmar 4JH3 series, including the 4JH3-TCE and 4JH3-TE, as well as the specified industrial engine models.
What is the difference between this and an OEM gasket?
This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It uses comparable high-quality, multi-layer steel (MLS) or composite materials to ensure a reliable seal under high heat and pressure, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
Do I need to use a sealant with this gasket?
Generally, no. Modern multi-layer steel (MLS) and composite head gaskets are designed to be installed dry. Applying sealants can interfere with the gasket's specialized coatings and may cause an improper seal or failure. Always follow the engine service manual for specific instructions.
Is it necessary to replace the head bolts when changing the gasket?
It is highly recommended. Many head bolts are torque-to-yield (TTY), meaning they permanently stretch when tightened and cannot be safely reused. Reusing old bolts can lead to improper clamping force and premature head gasket failure. Always check the service manual for your specific engine.
Will this fit a Yanmar 4TNV88 or other models not listed?
No, this gasket is specifically for the 84mm bore of the 4JH3, 4TNE84, and 4TNV84 series engines. Using it on an engine with a different bore diameter (like the 88mm bore of a 4TNV88) will result in a poor seal, engine damage, and immediate 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.
