Kia Sportage Head Gasket

Not knowing what the parts are in your vehicle is but natural because not all drivers have the knack for it, especially women. It is important though to know the basics so you can at least take care of it during emergency. There are some parts that are simple enough to take care of and it would be easier for a car owner to do that rather than spend money over and over again. There are components that do not need much attention but it has a certain life span that is the specification of the manufacturer. The head gasket is one fine example of that. Few people know what this part is but it actually has a very crucial sealing function that can affect the overall performance of your vehicle.

In an internal combustion engine, the Kia Sportage Head Gasket is located between the engine block and the cylinder head. It is the primary function of the head gasket to seal the cylinders. This task is the one thing that makes the head gasket one, if not the most, critical and crucial gaskets in your engine. It is important to make sure that there is maximum compression and that leakage of coolant or engine oil into the cylinders is avoided. A first-rate quality head gasket should be able to hold in the coolant and oil and preserve a performance that is leak-free from installation until there is engine life.

The one reason why it is so hard to seal engines is the aluminum cylinder on cast iron block. Although the aluminum weigh less the heat can also cause them to expand very fast (they expand 1.7 times faster than cast iron) which ruins the ability of the head gasket to seal properly. To prevent the gaskets from sticking to either surface and allowing the head to expand and contract without tearing the gasket apart are materials like molybdenum, Teflon and others are being used. Also applied to the gasket of cast iron engine is raised silicon or fluoropolymer elastomer sealing beads. This increases the clamping pressure and improves the sealing ability of the gasket.

To maintain your over all performance at its best a good quality head gasket is important. Tougher and high resistant fibers like Aramid and Kevlar can improve the resilience of your head gasket. It is also critical that you you’re your mechanic check it regularly so that you will not experience sudden problems.
