Vehicle Fitment

All applications share a 93.00 mm bore diameter. The WL is the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre diesel variant; the WL-T (also written WLT) is the turbocharged version. Ford Ranger and Mazda B2500/Drifter share the same Mazda-designed engine platform — the Drifter is the South African-market badge for the B2500 pickup.

Installation Tips

• Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, removing old gasket material and carbon deposits before fitting new gaskets.
• Use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque values for the cylinder head and manifold bolts.
• Replace head bolts if your engine uses torque-to-yield (TTY) fasteners — these are designed for single use only.
• Apply sealant only where specified by the vehicle manufacturer; over-application can block oil and coolant passages.
• Recheck the cylinder-head bolt torque after the engine has been heat-cycled, if required by the workshop manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a full gasket set?

A full gasket set typically includes the cylinder-head gasket, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve-cover gasket, oil-pan gasket, front and rear crankshaft seals, valve stem seals, and various ancillary O-rings and gaskets needed for a complete engine overhaul or top-end rebuild.

How do I know this set fits my vehicle?

Match your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine code against the fitment table above. The engine code is usually stamped on the engine block or printed on the vehicle's identification plate. If in doubt, provide your VIN number to your nearest motor spares dealer for confirmation.

Can I install this gasket set myself?

While experienced DIY mechanics can perform a gasket replacement, we strongly recommend professional installation. Incorrect torque settings or surface preparation can lead to leaks, overheating, or engine damage. A VAT-registered workshop will also ensure your warranty remains valid.
