107-0979 Cylinder Head Gasket — Cat 315 315B 315C 317B Ln 318B

This cylinder head gasket is a critical seal that separates the cylinder head from the engine block, preventing combustion gases from escaping and coolant/oil from entering the combustion chamber. Manufactured to precise specifications, it ensures a tight seal under extreme pressure and temperature, unlike a blown gasket that allows internal leakage. Operators may observe white smoke from the exhaust, coolant loss, or engine overheating if this gasket fails.

Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

The most common initial symptom of a blown head gasket is white smoke from the exhaust, indicating coolant is entering the combustion chamber. Other signs include unexplained coolant loss, engine overheating, or the presence of oil in the coolant or vice versa. If left unaddressed, this can lead to severe internal engine damage, including warped cylinder heads and damaged pistons.

Installation Tip

Ensure the cylinder head and engine block surfaces are perfectly clean, flat, and free of any debris or old gasket material before installation. Always follow the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and values when tightening the head bolts.

Service Note

When replacing the cylinder head gasket, it is critical to have the cylinder head checked for flatness and to inspect the cylinder walls for any scoring or damage.
