Several signs may mean a head gasket needs replacing: coolant loss with no visible leak, white exhaust smoke, overheating, milky-looking oil, or oil or coolant seeping from the joint between the head and the block. Other problems can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. If a failed left-side head gasket is the cause, AHG868L replaces it.
Before installation, consult the vehicle service information for the head and block surface checks, the head bolt torque procedure, and whether the original head bolts may be reused.
