According to MAHLE Aftermarket, this set offers more components than sets offered by other aftermarket suppliers or even from the OE dealer.

Compared to the dealer set, the MAHLE Original set has 91 more pieces – including important parts such as the lower valve cover and intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, O-rings, high-pressure oil pump and valve stem seals and more. In addition, the MAHLE Original set has 45 additional gaskets and seals, compared to aftermarket competitors, the company reports. To follow OE form, fit and function, MAHLE Aftermarket says the seals in the MAHLE Original set are color-coded to match the OE parts to easily identify their proper replacement location. This MAHLE Original head set for the 6.0L PowerStroke is available in both 18 mm (HS54450) and 20 mm (HS54579).

“The MAHLE Original head gasket set for this extremely popular engine includes all the gaskets and seals a technician would need to do the job right,” said Jon Douglas, general manager of MAHLE Aftermarket North America. “Surprisingly, some sets from other manufacturers don’t even include the head gaskets in their head gasket set. Plus, MAHLE Original gaskets are made to the same exacting standards as the OE gaskets that came in the engine when new.”

The company adds that-MAHLE Original gaskets are application engineered; the exhaust manifold and EGR cooler gaskets for this application are multi-layered/embossed stainless steel to hold up against extreme temperatures of a medium-duty diesel engine. While other gaskets available in the aftermarket are made of an inferior graphite composite material.
