Purchasing a new vehicle can be a big investment, and if you aren't someone who works closely with vehicles, you might not know all the terminology that comes along with owning a car. Gaskets are just one of the items that we worry about when you bring your vehicle in to Bubba Oustalet Ford-Lincoln for an inspection or a repair. Let's take a quick look at what these items actually are.
There is a seal that exists between an engine block and the heads that are on the cylinders of the engine. This seal is called a head gasket. These items are usually made out of copper or steel on the majority of vehicles. You can sometimes find graphite gaskets on a vehicle, but this is much less common because it is a cheaper item. Just like any other part of your vehicle, your gaskets may need occasional service or repair.
Bring your model in to our Lincoln service station for car repairs if you notice any issues as you navigate the streets of Jennings, LA and beyond.
