2001-2016 Duramax 6.6L Right Head Gasket - 1.05MM Grade C - MAHLE - 55026

Seal it right the first time. The MAHLE 55026 is the updated OE-grade replacement for the 6.6L Duramax right side head gasket, produced by Elring — the original equipment manufacturer for Duramax engines. This gold-series gasket replaces the original MAHLE 54582 and delivers the same factory-level fit and sealing performance your engine was built with.
MAHLE's Wave-Stopper design uses concentric waves in the spring steel active layer to flex with changing combustion loads and pressures, preventing the micro-movement failures that cause leaks over time. Multi-layer steel construction with a polymer coating provides a durable, leak-free seal across the full range of operating temperatures — from cold starts to sustained high-load pulling.
At 1.05mm, Grade C is the standard service thickness and the correct choice for most head gasket replacements, including builds where the head has been machined. Compatible with all LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML engines. Verify grade requirements with your engine builder before ordering.
Sold individually — right side (passenger side).
