Keep the joint between the cylinder head and block sealed with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc AHG118, an Acura Integra cylinder head gasket for 1990-1995 models with the L4-1.8L engine. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed application, which uses one gasket.
A head gasket sits between the cylinder head and the engine block. It seals combustion pressure inside the cylinders and keeps the coolant and oil passages that run between the head and block separate from each other and from the combustion chambers.
Signs a head gasket may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, white smoke from the exhaust, overheating, coolant mixing into the oil, and low compression. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem before you replace the gasket. If a failed head gasket is the cause, the AHG118 replaces it. When installing, check the vehicle service information for the correct head bolts, whether they may be reused, the torque sequence, and any required checks of the head and block surfaces.
