Seal the joint between the cylinder head and the block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Cylinder Head Gasket AHG1164L. This left-side head gasket is designed to contain combustion pressure and keep the coolant and oil passages separated. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2009-2022 Chevrolet Traverse and 2012-2020 Chevrolet Impala with the V6-3.6L engine, and it is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
An engine cylinder head gasket is clamped between the cylinder head and the engine block. On a V6, each cylinder head has its own gasket, and this one is cataloged for the left bank. Signs that a head gasket may need replacing include coolant loss with no visible leak, white exhaust smoke, overheating, milky oil, or low compression on the cylinders it seals. These symptoms can have other causes, so confirm the diagnosis before replacing the gasket. Consult the vehicle service information for head bolts, torque sequence and surface preparation before installing.
