Abstract
A method, system and device for gasketing and sealing of locomotive diesel engine power assembly's internal combustion cooling medium process. The method, system and device comprise a single metal gasket having a plurality of individual elastomeric grommets specifically constructed for sealing the internal power assembly cooling fluid movement through the muting surfaces of the two-piece assembly consisting of the cylinder liner and the cylinder head. The grommets pre-assembled into the gasket at a plurality of internal fluid passage locations are selectively configured to withstand the critical assembly clamping pressure condition and the extreme temperature fluctuations experienced during the combustion process itself. The grommet material composition includes a percentage of carbon black, and eliminates any elastomeric yellow coloration additive.
