🔌 Function

Closes the top of the cylinder and carries the valve gear, the combustion chamber faces and the ports through which the engine breathes.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant disappearing with no external leak, and combustion pressure showing in the cooling system as bubbling, pressurisation or coolant pushed out of the expansion tank
• Water in the oil or oil in the coolant — a creamy, emulsified dipstick or a film on the coolant surface
• Low compression, hard starting, a persistent misfire or white steam from the exhaust once the engine is warm
• An external weep, rust stain or blow mark along the head-to-block joint
• Repeated overheating, or a head that has been overheated and now leaks after cooling down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the head for cracks and check the head and block faces for flatness with a straight edge before assembly, and have any doubt about the face or the valve seats resolved before the gasket goes on
• Clean the gasket faces with care and without scoring them — do not attack an aluminium face with abrasive discs or scrapers, and keep debris out of the bores, coolant passages and bolt holes
• Always use a new head gasket, and tighten in the stages, sequence and torque-plus-angle steps given in the workshop manual for your engine, with the threads and mating faces clean and lubricated exactly as that manual specifies
• Head bolts on modern engines are angle-tightened and stretch permanently, so renew them wherever the manual calls for it rather than reusing them
• Refill and bleed the cooling system properly, then run the engine and carry out any retightening or valve clearance recheck the manual requires after the first running period
