What does a Cylinder Head Gasket do?

A cylinder head gasket is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine. It sits between the cylinder head and the engine block, sealing the mating surfaces. Its primary job is to prevent leaks of coolant, oil, and compression gases between these two engine parts. Essentially, it ensures that everything stays where it should!

When should I replace the Cylinder Head Gasket?

Replacing a cylinder head gasket is necessary under certain circumstances. Here are common signs that indicate it’s time for replacement:

1. Coolant or Oil Leaks: If you notice coolant or oil leaking externally from the engine, it could be due to a failing head gasket.
2. Overheating: Frequent engine overheating may be caused by a compromised gasket, leading to coolant loss.
3. White Smoke: White smoke from the exhaust could indicate coolant mixing with combustion gases.
4. Low Compression: A compression test can reveal low cylinder compression, often caused by a faulty gasket.
5. Milky Oil: If your engine oil appears milky or frothy, it suggests coolant contamination.
6. Misfires or Rough Running: A damaged gasket can affect cylinder sealing, leading to misfires or poor performance.

Remember, timely replacement can prevent further damage and maintain engine health!
