FYI: Plug Seal gasket or Cam Gasket for GDI engines

[2nil]

hi guys and gals,i have some information to share with you all

Anybody lately who's the owner of a cedia lancer(cs5a) or cedia lancer wagon (cs5w) or or even a vehicle with one of those 4g93 or 4g93T GDI engines or ah matter a fact any gdi engine and currenty getting oil leaking down on your plugs and oil wetting up your coil pack stems?

Well if so, you have a worn out Cam gasket or as we say a plug seal gasket,it is usually worn out with age and the gasket get hard and oil passes through to unwanted places.........and if not changed it causes :

1.the engine's starts to stutter (eventually a check engine may come on)

2.can also cause your coil pack stems to blow and leak current due to the oil coming in contact with plug.

3.(NB.the coilpack itself usually doesn't go bad unless the situation is really critical)

4.excessive smoke from the exhaust while idling and driving only when it starts for the first time for the day.

5. having to top up on engine oil sometimes.

if anyone is getting problem to purchase one i got one to buy at:

2nil great infor here,actually trying to assist someone with same problem right now..
That cost is for the kit or just for the camshaft bearing cap cluster gasket?

just for the camshaft bearing cap cluster gasket..................other places may have it cheaper.

I took mines out, degreased by soaking in gas.
Put it back in and ran a bead of silicone gasket maker, been about 3 years, problem haven't presented itself again.

But for persons interested PT can import almost any part you need, cost may be an issue though.

you made a slight mistake...the part number is 1015B006 (Formerly MD346062)



can be bought out of USA from these websites (make sure they have it in stock before)

Just be aware that there are different parts no's for this, even for the same designated engine eg the 4g93 gdi, the seals are differently designed and cannot be interchanged, so ensure it's the correct part.
