Seal the joint between the cylinder head and block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc AHG276, a Mitsubishi Galant cylinder head gasket listed for the L4-2.4L engine.

A head gasket sits between the cylinder head and the engine block. It is designed to hold combustion pressure inside the cylinders and to keep the coolant and oil passages that run between the head and block separate from each other.
Signs this part may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, milky or contaminated oil, and bubbles in the coolant reservoir. Other faults can cause several of these symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the gasket.
Follow the vehicle service information for the correct head bolts, the tightening sequence and torque procedure, and any surface checks on the head and block. The service information also states whether the original fasteners may be reused.
