What is a Gasket?
Automotive gaskets are usually referred to as a seal between two solid parts that are connected through bolts. They are found in various engine components such as the water pump, oil pan, valve cover, cylinder head, and more. Because your car's engine fluctuates in temperature, for example during a cold start in the morning and a long, hot summer road trip, the gaskets are used to compensate for the expansion and contraction of metal engine components. Gaskets are made out of various materials depending on their application such as mixtures of rubber and steel components.
Future Auto Service in Burbank is proud to perform gasket repairs on all makes & models including BMW, Subaru, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Range Rover, Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo, and many more. Here are the most common gasket services we offer:
- Head Gasket Replacement:Sitting right between the engine block and cylinder head, the head gasket lines the outer edges of the engine head as well as cylinders, head bolts, guide pins, coolant, and oil ports. Failure of the head gasket can lead to catastrophic engine failure and shouldn't be ignored.
- Valve Cover Replacement: Located right between the valve cover and cylinder head, the valve cover gasket is generally a thin rubber piece that fits around the outer edges. A failing valve cover gasket is easily identified by oil leaks around the top of the valve cover.
- Oil Pan Gasket: The oil pan houses engine oil that lubricates crucial engine components. Its gasket sits right at the top and under the crankcase and is usually made out of a durable steel and rubber compound. It helps absorbing engine vibrations and cushions both engine parts.
