It creates a static seal between engine components, preventing leaks of oil, coolant, or pressure at the specific mounting point. The exact location varies depending on the engine configuration.
Cummins specifies that this product is primarily intended for use with non-certified 11-liter M11 engines; aftermarket catalogs also list the L10, ISM, and QSM models. Final compatibility must be verified using the engine’s serial number, as it may vary depending on the CPL and configuration.
It is installed between the engine block and the oil pan. It prevents lubricating oil from leaking out and dust or contaminants from entering the lower part of the engine.
For the L10 engine, the Mechanical, CELECT, and Gas versions are listed. Compatibility with other engines, such as the M11, ISM, and QSM, must be verified using the engine serial number (ESN), as different oil pans may be used.
It ensures the combustion chamber remains airtight and allows for the controlled flow of high-pressure, high-temperature exhaust gases toward the manifold and the turbocharger. The kit includes an exhaust valve and retaining cones.
Used on Cummins Heavy Duty and Medium Duty engines (industrial, marine, automotive, and construction applications) in the ISC (8.3L), ISL / ISL9 / ISLE4 (8.9L), QSC8.3, QSL9, 6C8.3, B4.5, and ISF3.8 engine series. Models from approximately 2002 to the present.
