Description
Overview:
This Head Gasket is a Non-Genuine aftermarket replacement for Yanmar 4TNV98 diesel engines, designed to seal the joint between the cylinder head and engine block. It replaces OEM No. 129907-01331 and helps maintain correct compression while keeping oil and coolant passages separate. Built for the demands of industrial diesels, it uses a robust multi-layer steel (MLS) construction with heat- and corrosion-resistant coatings to handle thermal cycling and high combustion pressures. Suitable for machinery powered by the 4TNV98, such as compact excavators and site equipment, it is a reliable choice for engine overhauls, head refits, or repairs following overheating or gasket failure. The 4TNV98 platform features a 98 mm bore (3.86 in), and this gasket is engineered for accurate fire-ring and port alignment to support consistent sealing performance.
Key Features:
- Quality Non-Genuine aftermarket replacement for Yanmar 4TNV98 engines
- Replaces OEM No. 129907-01331 for straightforward like-for-like fitment
- Multi-layer steel (MLS) construction for strength, heat resistance, and long service life
- Accurate fire-ring location for 98 mm (3.86 in) bore and precise coolant/oil passage alignment
- Helps restore compression, reduce blow-by, and prevent oil–coolant cross-contamination
- Fits without modification when used with standard 4TNV98 head and block components
- Suitable for routine top-end rebuilds and corrective maintenance
- Compatible with workshop installation; follow the Yanmar service manual for torque and sequence
- Best practice: inspect head/block flatness and consider new head bolts if torque-to-yield type
- Supplied as head gasket only
Typical Applications:
Used on equipment powered by the Yanmar 4TNV98 engine, including compact excavators, site dumpers, skid steers, telehandlers, forklifts, compressors, pumps, and generator sets. Ideal for top-end repairs, scheduled overhauls, or resolving issues such as loss of compression, coolant contamination, or exhaust gases in the cooling system, helping keep plant and agricultural machinery running reliably.
