FAQ
Is this gasket reusable?
MLS gaskets are designed for durability, but reuse is not recommended. For best sealing results, install a new gasket during service.
Will this fit my 24-valve (1998.5–2002)?
No. This listing is for 12-valve 5.9L Cummins (1989–1998). Verify part numbers for 24-valve applications.
Do I need sealant?
No additional sealant is typically required. Install dry unless your OEM procedure specifies otherwise.
