HOWO Engine Oil Cooler Cover Gasket (Part No. VG1246070050)

A failing oil cooler gasket can lead to one of the most frustrating issues for any truck operator: oil and coolant mixing. The VG1246070050 Oil Cooler Cover Gasket is a specialized sealing component within the HOWO parts range, specifically built to handle the rigorous thermal demands of the Sinotruk WD615 engine series.

Technical Specifications

In our years of supplying HOWO parts to international markets, we’ve found that proper installation is key to gasket longevity:

1. Surface Prep: Before installing the VG1246070050, ensure both the oil cooler cover and the engine block surfaces are scrupulously clean. Even a tiny piece of old gasket debris can cause a high-pressure oil leak.

2. Avoid Excess RTV: Many mechanics make the mistake of adding thick layers of silicone sealant. This genuine gasket is designed to seal on its own; too much sealant can actually clog the oil passages.

3. Torque Pattern: Always tighten the cover bolts in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque to ensure even pressure across the entire gasket surface.
