Seal the joint between the left cylinder head and the engine block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Cylinder Head Gasket, part number AHG245L. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2006 Kia Sorento, 2003-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350 with the V6-3.5L engine, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A head gasket sits between the cylinder head and the block. It is designed to hold combustion pressure in the cylinders and keep coolant and oil in their own passages. When the original gasket fails, those fluids and gases can escape or mix.
- Position: left side
- Engine: V6-3.5L
- Quantity per application: 1. The listed applications use one gasket in this position.

Signs that a head gasket may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, overheating, milky oil, or low compression on one or more cylinders. Other faults can cause these symptoms too, so confirm the diagnosis before you replace the gasket. Follow the vehicle service information for surface preparation and the head-bolt torque sequence. It also tells you whether the original bolts may be reused.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles this gasket fits.
