Why do I need a cylinder head gasket?

A cylinder head gasket is a very important gasket in your engine. It keeps your cylinder head sealed against your engine block. When a cylinder head gasket blows, rips, or tears, there is not a good seal so you get coolant mixed with oil, and your oil mixed with coolant. This ruins the properties of both fluids, and due to the cylinder head gasket problem you could damage your engine. There is also a loss of cylinder compression since there is no head gasket. If you are doing a swap, and want to replace all assocated gasket and seals, we also sell a cylinder head gasket set which has everything you need for a headgasket swap.

What are some symptoms of a blown head gasket?

There is a quick and easy way to check, though it's not always entirely accurate. Remove your oil cap, and look under it. Does it look like there is foam? Some people call this foam "ice cream". If you see this, this is a mixture of coolant and oil, and is one of the indicators of a blown head gasket. The best way to check for a blown headgasket is to do a leak down test, and a compression test. Either of these tests will tell you if your head gasket has blown. Another common issue is your car or truck will overheat while on the highway cruising at constant speed. You might also melt, crack or burst your radiator hose, or even crack your radiator. The reason you might burst your hoses and crack your radiator, is that when the head gasket tears or blows, the compression that your engine creates escapes between the cylinder head and engine block. The easiest place for this compression to go is into your cooling system. Many cooling system problems can be related to a blown head gasket.

Should I also replace my head bolts when I swap my head gasket?

Yes. We do not recommend reusing your head bolts or head studs. Once you have removed your cylinder head, you must replace your bolts because they stretch once tightened. Failure to replace your bolts can lead to your head gasket blowing again.

Why should I get a metal head gasket?

A metal headgasket resists engine problems better than a paper gasket, so it typically can last longer. One of the theories is that even though a metal head gasket can out last a standard headgasket, it doesn't create as good of a seal between the cylinder head and engine block since it doesn't have as much give as a standard gasket. Some manufactures do not recommend using a metal head gasket for your car. When it is not recommended, we do not sell it. If a car or truck manufacture recommends a metal headgasket we will offer it in our catalog along with the standard head gasket.
