One of the most important parts of the cooling system is also the most invisible like the Acura head gasket. This is the device required to provide a taut seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. Your engine has an engine block or two cylinder heads. The mating surfaces where the block and the head are connected are machined flat so as to achieve a close flat and precision fit contact between them. But no amount of careful machining will allow them to be totally water tight or be able to keep the combustion gases from leaking past the mating surfaces. For this reason, the head gasket is necessary in order to provide a leak-free bond and tight seal between the block and the head. This head gasket has several functions to perform and the main thing is to maintain the combustion pressure on each cylinder. Since oil and coolant constantly flows between the block and the head, the head gasket will ensure that these fluids will not escape out through and flow through the combustion chamber.

The Acura head gasket is usually made of soft metal that is stamped with ridges that goes around all leak points. It is sandwiched between the block and the head. It maintains an effective seal around the combustion chamber at peak operating temperature and pressure. It seals against air, coolants, engine oil, and various chemicals used in the engine. It is designed to be thermally and chemically resistant to the byproducts of combustion so it is expected to provide long period of reliable service.
