Head Gasket Selection For
                                      1982-99 Peugeot 1.9L XUD9 Diesel Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information for the head gasket selection for the 1982-99 Peugeot XUD9 diesel engines. This information should be considered anytime head gasket replacement is occurring. 

Four different head gasket thickness options are currently available and they replace all previous head gasket selections. These gaskets provide a greater variety of gasket thickness options to choose from. Selecting the correct replacement head gasket will ensure proper engine specifications are maintained during engine repairs.

Selecting a replacement head gasket requires measuring the amount of piston protrusion above the deck of the block. After determining the piston height, select the appropriate replacement gasket from the chart below. The gaskets are further identified by a different number of notches on one end of each gasket.

Note: The charts in the original service manuals are no longer valid.
