Can High Temperature Damage the Cylinder Head Gasket in One Instance?

[DelMila]

Short-term high temperature will not damage the cylinder head gasket. Engine operating for a long time: When the engine operates under heavy load for extended periods, frequent detonation combustion occurs, leading to localized high temperature and pressure in the cylinder, which can erode the cylinder head gasket. Improper bolt installation: When tightening the cylinder head bolts, if not operated according to the specified requirements, uneven torque can cause the cylinder head gasket to not lie flat against the joint surface between the cylinder block and the cylinder head, resulting in gas leakage. Excessive advance angle: Excessive ignition advance angle or fuel injection advance angle increases the cycle pressure and temperature too much. Poor quality cylinder head gasket: The cylinder head gasket is of poor quality and uneven in thickness; there are air pockets inside the sealing edge, uneven asbestos distribution, or loose wrapping.
