Cylinder head gasket, 1.5 DDIS Suzuki Santana Jimny before 2005

The cylinder head gasket renders the space between the cylinder head and the engine bloc hermetic. The objective is to avoid the infiltration of engine coolant in the combustion chamber. It is therefore an essential element to the proper functioning of the engine.

Weakness signs from the cylinder head gasket can be fatal. Among the signs linked to gasket wear are the Jimny engine overheating, a drop of the coolant level or oil leaks in the expansion tank.
