This 3-notch cylinder head gasket is a critical sealing component that sits between the engine block and the cylinder head, preventing combustion gases, coolant, and oil from mixing. It is manufactured to meet Volvo D6E engine specifications, providing a robust seal that maintains compression and prevents fluid contamination, unlike a failed gasket that may leak. Symptoms of a blown head gasket include white smoke from the exhaust, coolant in the oil (milky appearance), oil in the coolant, or engine misfires.
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.
An initial sign of a failing cylinder head gasket can be intermittent white smoke from the exhaust, especially on startup. If the issue progresses, you may notice coolant loss without visible external leaks, or oil contamination in the coolant. The most severe consequence is internal engine damage due to overheating and loss of compression.
Ensure the cylinder head and engine block mating surfaces are perfectly clean, flat, and free of any old gasket material or debris. Always use new, correct-specification head bolts and torque them in the sequence and stages specified in the service manual.
When replacing the cylinder head gasket, it is crucial to have the cylinder head inspected and resurfaced, and to replace the head bolts.
