Cummins 3171368 Turbocharger Gasket
Cummins 3171368 Turbocharger Gasket
Product Description :
- It plays a vital role in the turbocharger’s mechanism by sealing the connections between the turbocharger and the engine components, such as the exhaust manifold and the oil feed and return lines.
- Â The gasket prevents exhaust gases from leaking out as they pass through the turbocharger. A proper seal ensures that the turbocharger can build boost efficiently, increasing the engine’s power output.
- They require lubrication, which is supplied by engine oil. Gaskets seal the oil feed and return lines, preventing leaks that could lead to oil starvation or contamination.
- The gasket also helps absorb vibrations between the turbocharger and the engine, reducing the risk of damage to both components over time.
-
A Turbocharger Gasket is a precision-engineered sealing component designed to prevent gas, oil, and coolant leaks between the turbocharger and adjoining engine parts. Built from high-temperature-resistant materials such as multi-layer steel (MLS), graphite composite, or reinforced fiber, it can withstand extreme heat, high pressure, and intense vibration produced during turbocharger operation.
-
This gasket ensures efficient exhaust gas flow into the turbine, maintaining optimal turbocharger performance while preventing performance loss due to leaks. Commonly installed between the turbocharger housing, exhaust manifold, and downpipe, it helps maintain boost pressure, reduce emissions, and protect engine components from heat damage.
-
Essential for turbocharged engines in automotive, marine, and industrial applications, a high-quality turbocharger gasket improves engine efficiency, reliability, and longevity.
