Mopar Right Side Cylinder Head Gasket | Gen 3 HEMI OEM Replacement (5038280AE)

The Mopar Right Side Cylinder Head Gasket is a genuine OEM replacement designed to provide a dependable seal between the engine block and right-side cylinder head on Gen 3 HEMI engines. Whether you’re rebuilding an engine, replacing a failed head gasket, or installing upgraded cylinder heads during a performance build, using an OEM-quality gasket is critical for maintaining proper compression, coolant flow, and oil passage sealing. Manufactured to Chrysler’s exact specifications, this Mopar gasket delivers the fit, durability, and reliability expected from original equipment components while helping ensure long-term engine performance under both stock and high-performance operating conditions.

A cylinder head gasket is one of the most critical sealing components in any engine. It must withstand extreme combustion pressures, high operating temperatures, and constant thermal expansion while maintaining separate sealing surfaces for combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil galleries. The Mopar Right Side Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered to provide consistent sealing performance throughout these demanding conditions, reducing the risk of compression leaks, coolant contamination, oil leaks, and premature gasket failure. Whether you’re servicing a naturally aspirated 5.7L or 6.4L HEMI or assembling a supercharged Hellcat engine, proper head gasket sealing is essential for reliability and performance.

This OEM head gasket is an excellent choice for both factory replacement and high-performance engine builds. Enthusiasts installing aftermarket camshafts, upgraded valve springs, CNC-ported cylinder heads, forged rotating assemblies, or supercharger upgrades understand the importance of using quality sealing components during assembly. Replacing the head gasket whenever the cylinder heads are removed helps ensure a leak-free installation while protecting the investment made in other performance components. When paired with proper torque procedures and new head bolts or studs, this gasket helps create a durable seal capable of supporting demanding street and racing applications.

Because this is a genuine Mopar component, fitment and installation are straightforward without the compromises sometimes associated with universal or lower-quality aftermarket alternatives. Precision manufacturing ensures proper alignment with coolant passages, oil galleries, and cylinder bores, allowing the gasket to perform exactly as intended by the factory. Professional engine builders and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike rely on OEM sealing components when assembling Gen 3 HEMI engines because of their proven durability and dependable performance.

Whether you’re performing routine engine service, replacing damaged cylinder heads, completing a full engine rebuild, or assembling a high-horsepower Gen 3 HEMI, the Mopar Right Side Cylinder Head Gasket provides the sealing integrity needed to keep your engine operating at its best. At Dusterhoff Racing, we recommend genuine OEM sealing components whenever possible to help maximize engine reliability and long-term performance.
