Description
If you’ve noticed white smoke coming out the exhaust, coolant in the oil, or that telltale milky look on the dipstick, your head gasket is likely calling it quits. This copper head gasket seals the critical junction between your engine block and cylinder head, keeping combustion pressure, coolant, and oil exactly where they belong instead of mixing where they shouldn’t. This genuine copper construction provides the durability and heat resistance that makes the difference between a quick fix and a lasting repair.
What You’re Getting
- Genuine copper construction that handles the extreme temperatures and pressure of diesel combustion
- Superior sealing properties compared to composite gaskets – copper conforms better to surface imperfections
- Long-lasting durability that won’t blow out under heavy loads or extended operation
- Direct replacement that fits like the original factory gasket
- Works with the complete head gasket set (QTP-82886) if you’re doing a full rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
These Massey Ferguson 135 and 240 tractors with Perkins engines were the backbone of small to medium farming operations for decades, handling everything from cultivation to hay making. Whether you’re running a Massey Ferguson from the 100, 200, 300, or 500 series, or working with Leyland 245/253 models, this gasket maintains the reliable operation these workhorses are known for. The copper material is especially important on these older engines where perfect sealing can make the difference between years more service and expensive engine damage.
Made to Last
This copper gasket uses materials specifically engineered to handle the extreme temperatures and pressures of diesel combustion while maintaining flexible sealing properties through countless heat cycles. Unlike inferior gaskets that fail under pressure, leading to blown gaskets, coolant leaks, and compression loss, this copper construction maintains proper sealing force throughout its service life.
Installation Notes
Make sure your cylinder head surface is perfectly flat and clean all old gasket material thoroughly before installation – any debris will prevent proper sealing. Always check cylinder head flatness and condition before installing new gaskets, as warped or damaged heads will cause immediate gasket failure. Use proper torque sequence and specifications when tightening the head bolts to ensure even gasket compression.
