Full Gasket Set Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 (F16D3) | Cruze 1.6 | Optra 1.6

Vehicle Fitment & Part Details

This Partquip full gasket set (PQFG001) is engineered for the GM/Daewoo F16D3 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine fitted across several Chevrolet models sold in South Africa. It covers the Aveo, Cruze 1.6, Optra, and Vivant — all sharing the same Daewoo-derived DOHC engine family with identical bore dimensions.

OEM Reference Numbers

Vehicle Fitment

All applications share a 79.00 mm bore diameter. The F16D3 is GM's designation for the Daewoo-developed 1.6 DOHC engine; LXT and LXV are GM RPO codes for the same base engine in different tune states. The Vivant uses the older A16DMS code but shares the same bore and gasket architecture. The title text references years up to 2016 for the Aveo and 2012 for the Cruze and Optra.

Installation Tips

• Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, removing old gasket material and carbon deposits before fitting new gaskets.
• Use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque values for the cylinder head and manifold bolts.
• Replace head bolts if your engine uses torque-to-yield (TTY) fasteners — these are designed for single use only.
• Apply sealant only where specified by the vehicle manufacturer; over-application can block oil and coolant passages.
• Recheck the cylinder-head bolt torque after the engine has been heat-cycled, if required by the workshop manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a full gasket set?

A full gasket set typically includes the cylinder-head gasket, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve-cover gasket, oil-pan gasket, front and rear crankshaft seals, valve stem seals, and various ancillary O-rings and gaskets needed for a complete engine overhaul or top-end rebuild.

How do I know this set fits my vehicle?

Match your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine code against the fitment table above. The engine code is usually stamped on the engine block or printed on the vehicle's identification plate. If in doubt, provide your VIN number to your nearest motor spares dealer for confirmation.

Can I install this gasket set myself?

While experienced DIY mechanics can perform a gasket replacement, we strongly recommend professional installation. Incorrect torque settings or surface preparation can lead to leaks, overheating, or engine damage. A VAT-registered workshop will also ensure your warranty remains valid.
