An engine cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the head and the block. It contains combustion pressure and keeps the coolant and oil passages that cross that joint separate. Signs this part may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, milky engine oil, or bubbles in the coolant reservoir. Other faults can cause these symptoms, so diagnose the engine before replacing parts. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct head bolts and tightening procedure, and for whether the original fasteners may be reused.
