The head gasket seals a different joint from the cylinder-base and valve-cover gaskets. Inspect the engine before ordering so that a small cover repair does not become a mismatched top-end purchase. Keep the correct reference with each position on your parts list.
The selected shift-shaft seal is 12.5 × 25 × 8 mm. Other shafts use different seals, so retain the old markings and identify the location. Confirm unlisted kit contents with the store before relying on a set for several seal positions.
No. They seal different joints. Choose the valve-cover gasket for its cover position and the cylinder-head gasket for a head repair; identify where the engine is leaking before buying.
Use all of the specified dimensions and the correct shaft position. For the selected shift-shaft seal, compare 12.5 × 25 × 8 mm and reference 91204-425-003 with the fitted assembly.
