Cylinder Head Parts
The cylinder head is made up of many parts, some major and others not so noticeable. They are:
Cylinder head gasket
1. Head Gasket
This is the part found between the cylinder head and the engine block. A cylinder head gasket is set with bolts to the top of the engine housing. It is usually made of steel metal. One of the main functions of a cylinder head gasket is to act as a seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. It prevents oil and engine coolant from leaking or mixing. Intake and exhaust gases, too.
Another important cylinder head gasket in cars is to help maintain the pressure of combustion gases. Without the gasket, the two components are likely to fail as a result of loss of pressure. This would, in turn, cause the engine to reduce its performance significantly.
The head gasket life expectancy varies depending on vehicle usage. Heat destroys it quickly. Excessive temperatures are the main cause of a split head gasket and should be avoided. Performance head gaskets are made to withstand harsh conditions and last a long time.
