2. Head gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

   In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.

3. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   For many years radiators were made from brass or copper cores soldered to brass headers. Modern radiators have aluminum cores, and often save money and weight by using plastic headers with gaskets. This construction is more prone to failure and less easily repaired than traditional materials. Honeycomb radiator tubes

4. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

   Aluminium–copper alloys (AlCu) are aluminium alloys that consist largely of aluminium (Al) and traces of copper (Cu) as the main alloying elements. Important grades also contain additives of magnesium , iron , nickel and silicon ( AlCu(Mg, Fe, Ni, Si) ), often manganese is also included to increase strength (see aluminium-manganese alloys ).

   The head bolts must be re-torqued (retightening process) regularly. [10] Factory service manuals recommend that head bolt torque be checked every 4,000 mi (6,400 km) and to re-torque them every 8,000 mi (13,000 km). Modern head gaskets can extend this service interval to re-torque the bolts every 12,000 mi (19,000 km), or every other year.

7. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

   Aluminum-silicon phase diagram. Aluminum forms a eutectic with silicon, which is at 577 °C, with a Si content of 12.5% [7] or 12.6%. [8] Up to 1.65% Si can be dissolved in aluminum at this temperature. However, the solubility decreases rapidly with temperature. At 500 °C it is still 0.8% Si, at 400 °C 0.3% Si and at 250 °C only 0.05% Si.
