Bottom End Gasket Sets

An engine conversion or bottom end gasket set is a collection of gaskets and seals used during the process of rebuilding or repairing the lower end of an engine in a vehicle. The "bottom end" of an engine typically includes any service that requires the removal of the oil pan and timing cover, including crankshaft or oil pump replacement. A bottom end gasket set includes all the major gaskets needed to properly seal the lower part of your vehicle's engine after disassembly to ensure a lasting, leak-free repair. Depending on the vehicle, this may include gaskets for the water pump, oil pan, oil pump, timing cover, and more. A bottom end gasket set is a great option if you are performing a lower engine overhaul or repair, replacing an old engine with a new one, or swapping engines, and can ensure proper sealing to prevent leaks from the bottom end of the engine. Damaged gaskets can cause oil leaks, which may result in a burning smell from the engine compartment, low oil pressure, and irreparable damage to your engine if not addressed and monitored closely. Most engine conversion gasket sets are designed for specific engine models or engine families for correct fitment and compatibility, so be sure to check your engine's specifications.
