The cylinder head gasket is an important and equally critical component in your engine. It is located between the cylinder head and the engine block and ensures that the various elements - such as combustion gases, cooling water and engine oil - circulate separately in the engine. It therefore seals the combustion chambers as well as the oil and cooling ducts. Conversely, this means: If the cylinder-head gasket fails, it can cause oil and coolant to mix or combustion gases to escape, which can result in massive damage to the engine. Regardless of the cause of the damage, the cylinder-head gasket should be repaired as quickly as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
