Whenever two metal surfaces mate, they result in minuscule spaces anywhere between the connection. These kinds of holes result in leaks, so they need to be filled up with a flexible material called gasket, or in your automobile, your Kia Spectra head gasket. Typically, a gasket is made of cork or just about any flexible material and then lined with rubber-like elements. Its design assures excellent and leak-free operations which will last for years. High-performance vehicles demand more reliable gaskets in their engines, which made steel a new practical material.
The best demonstration of sheet metal gasket is an combustion chamber's head gasket. Covered with elastic rubber-like materials, the metal head gasket could keep blow-bys in and all unwanted particulates out. Blow-bys are inefficiently burned unwanted gas and pressurized oil mist which outflow beyond the piston rings and sump, respectively.
That flexibility of the head gasket as well as the extreme thermal stress it's exposed to can cause it to wear and be ‘blown' after a while. Setting up an exact substitute in exchange a damaged head gasket will restore the internal combustion engine's efficiency and thus, the car.
