MAHLE recommends replacing the cylinder head bolts during this job — many head bolts are torque-to-yield and single-use, so consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Signs a head gasket may need replacing include coolant loss, overheating, oil-coolant mixing, or combustion leaks; diagnose the cause before replacing.
