Replacement of Cylinder Head Gasket

Model: Renault Laguna X74, Laguna 2, MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Engine

The cylinder head gasket is an important component that sits between two surfaces, preventing the passage of fluids or gases. The head gasket is placed between the cylinders and ensures that oil and coolant do not come into contact with each other. The main cause of damage can be overheating. To replace it, block the flywheel of the clutch, located under the oil sump and the timing belt pulley. Once this is done, separate the cylinder head from the cylinders.
