A head gasket sits between the cylinder head and the block. It is designed to hold combustion pressure inside the cylinders and to keep coolant from leaking at the joint between the head and the block. When a gasket fails, you may see signs such as coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, coolant mixing with the oil, or low compression. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the engine before replacing parts. If the original gasket is the cause, this APEX part replaces it.
