Overheating is the main cause of damage to the engine cylinder head gasket. The following guide provides useful instructions on how to replace it. First, drain the engine oil, remove the alternator belt and any accessory belts.

The timing belt and engine block have two clearly visible reference marks; before removing the belt, ensure the two marks align perfectly. Pay particular attention during the tightening phase of the cylinder head with the new gasket against the cylinder block.

To do this correctly, you will need a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the correct torque value. At this point, you can replace the timing belt and reassemble everything.
