This is a Cylinder Head Cover Gasket, a critical seal that prevents oil and combustion gases from escaping the cylinder head assembly in Volvo D6D and D6E engines. It is manufactured to meet stringent OEM material and dimensional standards, ensuring a reliable seal that a worn or damaged gasket cannot provide. Failure of this gasket typically manifests as external oil leaks around the cylinder head or visible blue smoke from the exhaust due to oil entering the combustion chamber.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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.
The first sign of a failing cylinder head cover gasket is often an external oil leak around the edges of the cylinder head cover. If left unaddressed, the leak can worsen, leading to significant oil loss and potential engine damage from low oil levels. Continued operation with a leaking gasket can also lead to environmental contamination and increased fire risk.
Ensure both the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head mating surfaces are perfectly clean and free of any old gasket material or debris before installation. Overtightening the cover bolts can distort the gasket and lead to premature failure.
Inspect the valve cover and cylinder head for warpage and clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly before installing the new gasket.
