Cylinder Head Gasket, Diesel - Revised

Model Year 1983

Bulletin No. 83-115

File In Group 60

Number 28

Date May '83
SUBJECT: DIESEL HEAD GASKET


The diesel gaskets listed below will supersede previous gaskets for servicing 5.7 liter diesel engines. These head gaskets are the same gaskets currently recommended for use with .030" oversize pistons and will now be used for all applications. The use of these gaskets on standard engines should prevent the possibility of loss of compression due to the gasket sealing ring "falling" into the combustion chamber. This supersession will also affect appropriate gasket kits.
