Matto Gasket – Specialist in Caterpillar C15, C13, and C9 Engine GasketsWhen it comes to heavy-duty diesel engines, Caterpillar C15, C13, and C9 remain among the most widely used across trucks, construction machinery, mining, and industrial power units. These engines are the backbone of global fleets — and they demand gasket solutions that deliver long-term sealing, durability, and reliability under extreme conditions.At Matto Gasket, we have made these three engine families our priority focus, while also covering the full Caterpillar range from compact excavators to 3500- and 3600-series mining engines.

The Caterpillar C15 is one of the most widely used heavy-duty diesel engines in the world. Found in dozers, wheel loaders, pavers, and mining trucks, the C15 is built for high horsepower and reliability. However, its extreme operating conditions often lead to head gasket wear and failure.

The material science behind head gasket construction is a critical factor in their ability to withstand the extreme conditions within an internal combustion engine. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
