A head gasket sits in the joint between the cylinder head and the block. It seals the combustion chambers and the coolant and oil passages that pass between the two. When this engine cylinder head gasket breaks down, those seals can leak. If a failed head gasket is the cause of your coolant loss or overheating, this part replaces it.

A head gasket may need replacing if you notice unexplained coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, coolant in the oil or low compression.
