What is the primary function of a head gasket?

A head gasket seals the space between the engine block and the cylinder head. This seal is critical for containing the combustion process within the cylinders and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

What else might I need when replacing a head gasket?

When replacing a head gasket, it's common practice to also replace the cylinder head bolts, as they can stretch during the torquing process. You may also need new intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, and it's a good time to inspect the cylinder head for flatness.

Does this gasket come with installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. Cylinder head bolts and any other necessary installation hardware are typically sold separately.
