How to Replace the Cylinder Head Gasket?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Cylinder head

Video tutorial

The cylinder head gasket of a vehicle's engine is a very important component, as its function is to isolate the cylinder head from the head, preventing engine oil from leaking into the coolant, as well as leaks along the head itself. It is the high temperature reached by the engine during operation that causes it to fail over the years and miles driven, so it is not surprising.

After removing the timing belt and draining the radiator of coolant, open the head by unscrewing the locking bolts, and replace the existing gasket.
