A head gasket sits between the block deck and the cylinder head. It is designed to contain combustion pressure and to keep the coolant and oil passages that cross that joint separate. AHG1189R is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A head gasket may need replacing if you see unexplained coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, overheating, coolant in the oil, or low compression on one or more cylinders. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the fault before you replace any parts. If a failed right-side head gasket is the cause, AHG1189R replaces it.
Replacing a head gasket is a major engine repair. Follow the vehicle service information for surface preparation and for the correct head bolts, including whether the originals may be reused. Follow it for the tightening sequence and torque values as well.
