2. Description

The 1-87811078-2 cylinder head gasket kit is a precision overhaul set for Isuzu 6HH1 naturally aspirated inline 6-cylinder diesel engines. The 6HH1 features a 115 mm × 132 mm (4.5 in × 5.2 in) bore/stroke with 8,226 cc (8.2 L) displacement and 18.5:1 compression ratio. This full gasket set includes the cylinder head gasket constructed from multi-layer steel (MLS) with heat-resistant coating, valve stem oil seals, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, water pump gasket, and all necessary seals for a complete engine overhaul. Compatible vehicles include Isuzu FRR, FSR, FTR, FVR, FSS, and FTS trucks (1996–2003 model years) powered by the 6HH1 engine-25. Common failure symptoms include persistent engine overheating, coolant loss without external leaks, white exhaust smoke, milky oil, and exhaust bubbles in the radiator. Replacement restores factory sealing integrity and prevents cross-contamination of engine fluids.

4. Custom Content

Surface Preparation: Both the cylinder head and engine block must be perfectly clean before installation. Remove all old gasket material using a plastic scraper. Do not use abrasive discs or wire brushes on sealing surfaces. Maximum allowable surface distortion must not exceed manufacturer specifications-1.

Gasket Orientation: Install the cylinder head gasket with the printed side facing the cylinder head. The 6HH1 uses a single cylinder head covering all six cylinders. Verify orientation marks before tightening-.

Torque Sequence: Tighten cylinder head bolts in the specified sequence (center outward, spiral pattern) using multiple progressive stages-22. Cylinder head bolts typically require approximately 130 Nm (96 lb-ft)-. Always replace head bolts with new units as previous bolts may have permanent stretch from prior torque cycles-.
