Description of Change: The new liner seal helps prevent coolant leaks that move from the underside of the liner flange into the cylinder head joint. Also, the new liner seal helps prevent fretting or damage from corrosion to the top deck of the cylinder block. The new seals are compatible with cylinders that have inserts for the top deck.
The new inserts are specially machined in order to accept the new liner seals during the installation of the liner.
