Seal the joint between your engine's cylinder head and block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Cylinder Head Gasket, part number AHG1100, designed to contain combustion pressure and keep coolant and oil passages separated. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger with the L4-2.2L, the 1987-1995 Dodge Dakota (L4-2.2L for 1987-1988, L4-2.5L for 1989-1995) and the 1987-1989 Dodge Grand Caravan with the L4-2.5L.

The head gasket seals each combustion chamber and keeps coolant and oil flowing through their own passages between the head and block. Signs it may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, milky oil, or low compression on one or more cylinders. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem before replacing the gasket.
Before installation, clean the head and block mating surfaces and check them as the service procedure directs. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct head bolts, the torque sequence, and whether the original bolts may be reused.
