Signs the original head gasket may need replacing include coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke, oil and coolant mixing, or external seepage at the head-to-block joint — diagnose the underlying cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. Head bolts are commonly torque-to-yield fasteners, so consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque procedure.
