APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Cylinder Head Gasket P/N:AHG350
Seal the joint between the cylinder head and the engine block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Cylinder Head Gasket AHG280R. This right-side head gasket is designed to hold combustion pressure in the cylinders and keep coolant and oil in their own passages. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2010 Dodge Charger with the V6-3.5L, the 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with the V6-4.0L and the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey with the V6-3.5L. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The head gasket sits under constant heat and pressure, and it can wear over time. Signs it may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, overheating, milky engine oil or bubbles in the coolant reservoir. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the engine before replacing parts. If a failed right-side head gasket is the cause, the AHG280R replaces it.
Head gasket replacement is an involved job. Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces as directed by the service procedure. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct head bolts, the torque sequence and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
