About X52404200037 - Gasket for Cylinder Head
Published catalog details are identification references. They do not establish current stock, supplied condition, or confirmed fitment for your engine.
X52404200037 is a gasket for cylinder head catalogued for MTU 4000 engines. The catalog unit weight is 0.113 kg, which we use to estimate freight before quoting.
Technical Notes: Gaskets and seals
Gaskets, O-rings, and sealing rings keep oil, coolant, fuel, charge air, and exhaust gas in their own circuits. On high-speed MTU engines they work against high combustion pressures and frequent thermal cycling, so a seal that looks intact can still have lost its elasticity or set to the shape of the old joint.
When This Type of Part Is Usually Replaced
- a joint has been opened for inspection or repair, even if the old seal looks usable
- oil or coolant weeping appears at a cover, pipe flange, or housing
- a coolant test shows oil contamination or combustion gas in the cooling system
Checks Before Ordering
- Material matters: fuel-system and coolant-system O-rings of the same size can use different elastomers
- Superseded gasket numbers often reflect a material or thickness change, so mixed old and new gaskets on one joint should be avoided
- Order the complete set for a joint rather than single pieces when the cover or head comes off

Full parts list for this model family: MTU 4000 R43 to R63R Parts List
Engine-series references do not confirm every installation. Final fitment of X52404200037 depends on the full engine serial number and assembly position.
Common Replacement Scenarios
This part is commonly replaced when:
- oil, coolant, air, or exhaust leakage is found during inspection
- the engine is opened for overhaul and one-time-use sealing parts must be replaced
- material, section shape, and sealing position need confirmation from the old part or catalog drawing
Usually Ordered with Gasket for Cylinder Head
When the cylinder head comes off, head bolts and the seals disturbed with it are normally renewed. These MTU 4000 references are commonly checked in the same job; each still needs its own fitment check.
Cross-Reference and Superseded Part Numbers
Catalog history distinguishes earlier and later numbers where documented. Reference-only entries do not establish replacement direction or interchangeability. Confirm the offered number against the engine serial number and installation.
