I have engine FK26193UE. I have always used the "1500 style" rather than the
"1300 style" head gaskets.
According to my factory parts book, the K or H does not affect things, it is
only the numeric part that matters.
The cutoff is number 25000 for both.
If your block's deck has recessed areas around the cylinder bores, you need the
1500-style gasket,
otherwise you need the 1300-style. The 1500-style gasket has thicker metal
rings round
the cylinder holes to fit in the recesses of the deck. If you put such a
gasket on an older flat-deck
1300 engine, I'm sure something would leak!
