The OE Match Engine Head Gasket Set is a premium-quality replacement engine sealing kit designed to provide all the essential gaskets and seals required when removing and refitting the cylinder head on compatible Porsche engines. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, sealing performance and durability, this comprehensive gasket set restores the engine's sealing integrity, ensuring reliable compression, effective coolant and oil separation, and long-term engine performance.
Fits:
- Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
- Porsche 356 1950-55
- Porsche 356A 1955-59
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
Manufactured from premium heat-resistant and oil-resistant sealing materials, each gasket is engineered to withstand extreme combustion pressures, high operating temperatures and continuous exposure to engine oil and coolant. Precision-cut for direct OE-style installation, every component is designed to match the original factory specifications, making this gasket set ideal for engine rebuilds, cylinder head repairs and major engine servicing.
What This Product Does:
- Provides all the essential seals required when servicing the cylinder head.
- Restores a reliable seal between the cylinder head and engine block.
- Maintains engine compression.
- Prevents oil and coolant leaks.
- Separates oil, coolant and combustion chambers.
- Supports efficient engine operation and performance.
- Restores factory sealing throughout the cylinder head assembly.
- Forms an essential part of the engine rebuild and repair process.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Engine overheating.
- Coolant loss without visible external leaks.
- Engine oil contamination.
- Milky residue beneath the oil filler cap.
- White exhaust smoke caused by coolant entering the combustion chamber.
- Loss of engine compression.
- Poor engine performance or misfires.
- External oil or coolant leaks around the cylinder head.
- Bubbles in the coolant expansion tank.
- Low coolant level or excessive cooling system pressure.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The cylinder head gasket and associated seals are subjected to extreme combustion pressures, constant thermal cycling and continual exposure to engine oil and coolant. Over time, these sealing components can deteriorate, allowing fluids to mix or escape and reducing engine compression.
- A failed head gasket or deteriorated sealing components can lead to overheating, coolant loss, oil contamination and significant engine damage if left unresolved. During any cylinder head removal, replacing all associated gaskets and seals is essential to ensure a reliable repair and prevent future leaks.
- The OE Match Engine Head Gasket Set provides all the necessary sealing components to restore factory sealing performance during engine repairs. Manufactured to OE standards using premium-quality materials, this comprehensive gasket set delivers precise fitment, excellent durability and dependable long-term reliability, making it the ideal solution for Porsche engine rebuilds, restorations and preventative maintenance.

Main bearings are precision internal engine components located between the crankshaft main journals and the engine crankcase. Their purpose is to support the crankshaft while allowing it to rotate smoothly on a controlled film of pressurised engine oil. Correct bearing clearances are essential for maintaining lubrication, controlling crankshaft movement, reducing friction, and protecting the crankshaft and crankcase from excessive wear.
What This Product Does:
- Supports the crankshaft within the engine crankcase.
- Provides a precision running surface for the crankshaft main journals.
- Allows the crankshaft to rotate smoothly on a lubricating oil film.
- Helps maintain correct crankshaft alignment.
- Controls radial crankshaft movement.
- Helps control crankshaft end float where applicable.
- Reduces direct metal-to-metal contact and friction.
- Supports correct engine oil clearances and lubrication.
- Protects crankshaft journals against excessive wear.
- Withstands substantial combustion and rotational loads.
- Replaces worn or damaged main bearings during an engine rebuild.
- Is intended for compatible Porsche 356C and Porsche 912 engine applications.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Low engine oil pressure.
- Oil pressure becoming particularly low when the engine is hot.
- Deep knocking or rumbling noises from the lower engine.
- Excessive crankshaft movement or end float.
- Metallic particles or bearing material in the engine oil.
- Metallic debris in the oil filter or strainer.
- Excessive main bearing clearance during engine inspection.
- Scoring or abnormal wear of the crankshaft journals.
- Scratched, pitted, or discoloured bearing surfaces.
- Evidence of bearing overheating or oil starvation.
- Uneven or accelerated crankshaft journal wear.
- Serious internal engine damage in advanced cases.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Main bearings are fundamental to the reliability of the engine because they support and locate the crankshaft every time the engine operates. Combustion forces place considerable loads on the crankshaft, and the bearings must maintain a precise lubricated clearance while allowing smooth rotation.
- As main bearings wear, the clearance between the bearing surface and crankshaft journal can increase. Excessive clearance can reduce oil pressure, increase crankshaft movement, and accelerate wear of both the bearings and crankshaft journals. This can eventually result in knocking, poor lubrication, and deterioration of other internal engine components.
- Severe bearing wear can cause the protective oil film to break down, resulting in direct metal-to-metal contact. This may generate excessive heat, score or damage the crankshaft, contaminate the lubrication system with bearing material, and potentially cause major engine failure.
- Correct bearing sizing is especially important when rebuilding a classic Porsche 356C or Porsche 912 engine. Previous crankshaft grinding or crankcase machining can change the required bearing dimensions, meaning a standard-size bearing set may no longer provide the correct running clearance.
- Replacing worn components with the correctly sized OE Match Main Bearing Set – 61610013895A, 61610013895AO1, 616100138100A, or 61610013890A – for Porsche 356C / 912 helps restore correct crankshaft support, oil clearance, lubrication, and dependable engine performance.
