Cylinderhead Gaskets

Reliable sealing with the right head gasket

The head gasket is an essential part of the engine: it ensures that the cylinder and cylinder head connect gas- and liquid-tight. Because this gasket is exposed to high temperatures and pressure, it must be able to withstand extreme conditions. Over time, however, the head gasket can age or wear out, making replacement necessary.

Recognize a blown head gasket in time

A blown head gasket is relatively common and can cause various complaints, such as:

• Reduced engine power due to lower compression
• Coolant loss or overheating
• Oil leakage or a milky substance in the oil
• White smoke from the exhaust due to cooling water in the combustion chamber

As soon as you notice one of these symptoms, it is wise to have the head gasket replaced immediately to prevent expensive engine damage.

Replacing the head gasket

On many motorcycles, replacing the head gasket can be done well yourself, especially if the cylinder head is easily accessible. Make sure that the sealing surfaces are carefully cleaned and that the new head gasket fits your motorcycle type exactly. Are you in doubt or do you want the job done professionally? The mechanics at GHMparts have extensive experience with these tasks and can expertly take care of it for you.
