A new cylinder head gasket was introduced into production and spare parts. The old gasket with its surface coating of teflon has been replaced by one with a silicone coating. This is designed to minimize gasket movement and at the same time improve its sealing properties. This new style cylinder head gasket is for 900 and 9000 2.0 liter and 2.3 liter engines and supersedes earlier part numbers.
