How Many Kilometers to Replace the Cylinder Head Gasket?
1 Answers
Cylinder head gaskets do not have a specific replacement interval. They are only replaced when damaged or during an engine overhaul, and do not require regular replacement. Function of the cylinder head gasket: The cylinder head gasket is one of the most important gaskets in a car, ensuring a seal between the cylinder block and the cylinder head to prevent leaks of gas, water, and oil. Characteristics of the cylinder head gasket: Typically made of thin metal sheets wrapped with asbestos, modern versions may also use pure metal gaskets. Due to harsh working conditions, they must be heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and possess sufficient strength, elasticity, and thermal conductivity to ensure reliable sealing.
