## 🔌 Function

Seals the joint between cylinder head and block, holding combustion pressure in while keeping coolant and oil in their own galleries.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   White smoke from the exhaust with coolant disappearing and no external leak
-   Bubbles or pressure building in the header tank
-   Oil turned creamy on the dipstick or filler cap
-   Overheating that comes on quickly once the engine is loaded
-   Gasket found blown between cylinders or into a water jacket on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Single use - and the head and block faces must be checked for flatness before the new gasket goes on
-   Check whether the head bolts are the stretch type; if so they are single use and must be renewed and tightened to the specified sequence and angle
-   Establish why the old gasket failed before rebuilding, or the new one will go the same way
