Description
Overview:
The Head Cover Gasket is a genuine Kubota sealing component for selected small diesel engines, including the D1005 and D905. Supplied under OEM No. 16261 14524, it is designed to sit between the cylinder head and the rocker/valve cover to keep engine oil contained and contaminants out. Made from durable, oil‐ and heat‐resistant rubber in a moulded profile, it maintains a consistent seal under vibration and temperature changes typical of compact industrial engines. This gasket supports reliable operation in Kubota-powered machines such as compact excavators and industrial equipment using D‐series engines. It is an ideal replacement during routine service or when addressing oil misting or leaks around the head cover area.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kubota part for accurate fit and dependable sealing on listed engines
- Moulded, oil‐resistant rubber construction for long service life in hot engine environments
- Helps prevent oil leaks and keeps dirt out of the valvetrain area
- Maintains a tidy engine bay by reducing oil misting around the cover joint
- Stable seal under vibration; suitable for on‐site and off‐road machinery use
- Straightforward to fit with standard hand tools during routine maintenance
- Consistent dimensions to seat correctly in the cover groove
- Supports engine efficiency by preserving proper lubrication around the top end
Typical Applications:
Used when refitting the rocker/valve cover after valve clearance checks, cam or rocker inspections, or any repair requiring cover removal. Also fitted to cure seepage from aged or flattened gaskets. Common across Kubota-powered compact excavators, utility equipment, small tractors, generators, and pumps using D‐series engines, helping keep machines clean and compliant with site standards.
