Head Gasket Replacement Service

All vehicle engines come with a head gasket on them to maintain the health of the overall engine. The purpose of the head gasket is to maintain the fluids that are used within the engine, preventing them from releasing, and preventing outside liquids like rainwater from getting inside the engine. A head gasket that is not properly containing the necessary oils and fluids can quickly deteriorate the condition of your engine. Sometimes the head gasket can become damaged and need a repair. This service is known as the head gasket replacement service and should be conducted only by certified technicians.

    Why should I have it done?

    If your head gasket has any damage such as a crack, and there is a leak stemming from this part, then you should have it replaced immediately. Allowing a busted or cracked gasket to continue "protecting" your engine will only put the engine in danger of losing the fluid that it needs. Protecting your engine promotes longevity and preservation of your engine. Should you have damage to your engine, replacing the head gasket will only be a minor cost compared to the engine replacement or repairs. 

    What happens if I don't do it now?
    Should you choose to not have your busted head gasket replaced immediately, you run the risk of having your engine overheating due to losing fluid, or cycling in the wrong fluid for its operation, causing it to lock up and need in-depth repairs. In fact, many engines that need total replacements come from previous head gaskets being used that should have been replaced. The coolant for the engine will drain onto the road and ground first, and leave the engine vulnerable for overheating and improper function. This damage will not happen gradually but will happen much more quickly which is why having this replacement immediately is necessary. This is also dangerous, as the engine can blow while you are driving down the road, risking the safety of yourself, your passengers, and those within close proximity to your vehicle.
