If you are not aware of the said part well it is the one that helps the cylinder achieve utmost compression by sealing it closely to restrict the coolant. But more than this, the part also ensures that oil, water, gasoline and exhaust gases are trapped within the engine to guarantee efficient performance. But the process of compression that takes place within the cylinder can occasionally be a source leaking. Such scenario happens when the head gasket is cracked or broken. Moreover, the application of aluminum as an alternative for iron to design the head gasket can sometimes intensify the incidence of leak. Even though aluminum weighs lesser than iron, it is has a higher thermal expansion rate which can easily break the part. With this, inventors use Teflon on the surface of the head gasket lessens leakage.

If you want to replace your head gasket, you can choose from three kinds and these are the MLS (Multiple Layers Steel), solid copper, and composite. The first one is largely used on modern engines and contains three layers of steel. Each of the contact faces are rubber coated to hold the cylinder head and cylinder block together. The second type is created from piece of wires that is wrapped around the cylinder’s circumference. And the last one is created from asbestos or graphite which is often used on older vehicle models.
