Seal the joint between the cylinder head and the engine block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Cylinder Head Gasket AHG324. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. These include the 1975 Chevrolet Nova with the V8-4.3L and, with the V8-5.0L, the 1976-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, 1977-1993 Chevrolet Caprice, 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500, and 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500.
A head gasket sits between the head and the block. It is designed to hold pressure in the combustion chambers and to seal the coolant passages that cross that joint. If a failed head gasket is the cause of coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, milky oil or low compression, replacing it with AHG324 addresses that failed seal. Diagnose the cause first, since other faults can produce similar signs.
