Cylinder Head Gasket in Engine Block

Model: Fiat Bravo - Years 1995-2001
Part: Engine

In the engine block, the pistons of the cylinder head move up and down in cylinder holes. These pistons are connected to rods and a crankshaft that powers the vehicle. The cylinder head is bolted to the top of the engine, and inside it, there are valves that open and close to allow air and fuel into the cylinders and expel exhaust gases. The head gasket is a component located between the engine block and the cylinder head, maintaining coolant and oil separation. It can deteriorate and must be replaced in case of engine overheating.
