The seal between the cylinder head and cylinder block is a conventional cylinder head gasket. The seal between the other gasket faces is a liquid gasket.

The cylinder head gasket is made of steel and has multiple layers.

For exact adaptation to the relevant piston height there are different thicknesses available. This is to absorb the differences between pistons, connecting rods etc and thereby obtain the correct compression.
