Designed to seal the joint between the cylinder head and engine block, the APEX Automobile Parts Inc cylinder head gasket, part number AHG700, helps keep combustion pressure in the cylinders and coolant and oil in their own passages. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-2001 Suzuki Swift and 1995-1997 Geo Metro with the L4-1.3L engine. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A head gasket works under constant heat and combustion pressure, and over time it can begin to leak. Signs one may need replacing include coolant loss with no visible leak, overheating, white exhaust smoke, milky oil, or low compression in one or more cylinders. Other faults can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the engine before replacing parts. If a failed head gasket is the cause, AHG700 replaces it.
