Specifications
For reliable diesel rebuilding, the Mahle Clevite HS12232 Cylinder Head Gasket Set provides a complete upper-engine sealing solution for Detroit Diesel 4-53 and compatible 53-series engines. Head gasket sets must withstand extreme heat and combustion pressure while keeping coolant and oil circuits isolated. MAHLE/Clevite designs focus on precise bore and passage geometry, durable materials, and consistent thickness to ensure proper clamp load and leak resistance. Using HS12232 during a top-end refresh helps restore compression, reduce blow-by, and protect the engine from overheating or oil contamination. Sold by Wofford Truck Parts.
