A cylinder head gasket is required to effect a seal between the cylinder head and block of a gasoline or diesel engine. It is an integral component of the engine and is requires to perform many functions at the same time during engine operation. The head gasket must maintain the seal around the combustion chamber at peak operating temperature and pressure. The gasket must seal against air, coolants, combustion and engine oil at their respective peak operating temperature and pressure. The materials used and design employed must be thermally and chemically resistant to the products of combustion and the various chemicals, coolants and oils used in the engine. When assembled, the head gasket becomes an important part of the total structure of the engine. It supports the cylinder head along with its operating components. It must be able to withstand the dynamic and thermal forces that are transmitted from the head and block. The type of engine application will be the determining factor in cylinder head gasket design. With engines ranging in size from one cylinder gasoline fired engines up to twelve cylinder, turbocharged or supercharged high-compression diesels, the material and design of the gasket is paramount to it's functional life span. Every application requires a unique cylinder head gasket design to meet the specific performance needs of the engine. The materials and designs used are a result of testing and engineering various metals, composites and chemicals into a gasket that is intended to maintain the necessary sealing capabilities for the life of the engine.(See Fig. 1).
How much is a used 1995 Chevy Corsica head gasket?
A used head gasket is not worth anything, because it cannot be reused.

When do you have to use a oversize headgasket?
After the cylinder head or block have been skimmed. For example. An engine has overheated and the cylinder head has been warped. The head is removed and milled so that the mating surface is flat again. The thickness of the oversized gasket will depend on the amount of material removed. If a thicker gasket wasn't used, the compression ratio may be raised or the pistons may come into contact with the valves
What is a gasket head?
A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder head in an internal combustion engine. Its purpose is to seal the cylinders to ensure maximum compression and avoid leakage of coolant or engine oil into the cylinders; as such, it is the most critical sealing application in any engine, and, as part of the combustion chamber, it shares the same strength requirements as other combustion chamber components.
Will stop leak really fix a head gasket?
No, it will not. That is used as an emergency repair. The only fix for a blown head gasket is to replace it.
Can you use a sealant for a head gasket?
Never use sealant for a head gasket! It is used as a quick fix for cracks in the gasket but will not last very long. Safer to get the job done correctly.
What engine problems cause coolant to get in the crankcase and mix with oil?
1. freeze plug in top of head under valve cover leaking. 2. head gasket leaking. 3. head warped causing head gasket to leak. 4. pin hole in cylinder wall ( caused by water hammer if pure water has been used in cooling system for extended period.)
What is the best liquid head gasket repair on the market?
There is none. You cannot fix a blown head gasket with any head gasket sealer of any brand. They should only be used in an emergency situation in order to get the vehicle to a repair shop. The only permanent fix is to replace the head gasket.
