Head gasket replacement

Coolant loss? Trouble starting? low power?


Service Description

The cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and the block, keeping combustion pressure inside the cylinders and allowing coolant and oil to be pumped through their respective passages and throughout the engine. If the mating surfaces become distorted or the gasket fails, combustion gasses can escape causing power loss. In many cases coolant will also leak into the oil ways or into the cylinder itself which, if not repaired, is likely to cause severe engine damage via lack of lubrication or a cylinder filling with incompressible coolant. While this may sound serious, as our engineers are experienced in the entire engine remanufacturing process. We can replace head gaskets, true mating surfaces and ensure the cause of the failure is identified. We take great pride and responsibility in the work we carry out and only work to the original manufacturer specifications and tolerances so our repairs match or exceed the factory requirements. Each component selected for use in your vehicle's engine has been matched to the exact specifications of the components used when it was manufactured, giving you reliability, performance and peace of mind for every journey to come. If you are unsure if your cylinder head gasket is leaking, our engineers can test this as part of a 30 min free inspection, otherwise book an appointment today.
