Constructed from high-temperature resistant steel with rubber sealing surfaces, the set is sized at 16.81 x 4.09 x 0.75 inches and is intended to prevent cross-contamination of coolant and oil while keeping combustion and intake pathways clear of debris. Before ordering, confirm vehicle compatibility by checking your owner’s manual, VIN-fit guides, or measuring the existing gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles will this gasket fit and how do I confirm compatibility?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gasket set is built for a range of GM trucks and SUVs but only fits specific model years and engine sizes.
