GASKET-CYLINDER HEAD (CAT CT2172743)

A damaged cylinder head gasket can allow compression loss and coolant leakage between cylinders. This aftermarket replacement part references CAT as the OE maker and cross-references part number CT2172743. The gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and block, containing combustion pressure and preventing fluid crossover. A failed gasket often leads to overheating, white exhaust smoke, or oil contamination in the coolant. During a top-end overhaul, the gasket condition directly affects compression and cooling system integrity. The item ships at approximately 0.9 pounds. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
