2. Head gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

   Head gasket with a leak between the rightmost and centre cylinders. A leak in the head gasket - often called a "blown head gasket" - can result in a leak of coolant, the combustion gasses, or both. Blue smoke from the exhaust suggests that excess oil is entering the combustion chambers (although there are other possible causes than a head ...

3. 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 ).

4. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   Copper flange gaskets used for ultra-high vacuum systems. A flange gasket is a type of gasket made to fit between two sections of pipe that are flared to provide higher surface area. Flange gaskets come in a variety of sizes and are categorized by their inside diameter and their outside diameter. There are many standards in gasket for flanges ...

5. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Non-metallic gaskets are used with flat- or raised-face flanges. Spiral-wound gaskets are used with raised-face flanges, and ring-joint gaskets are used with ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges. Stress develops between an RTJ gasket and the flange groove when the gasket is bolted to a flange, leading to plastic deformation of the gasket. [4]

6. 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

7. Wills Ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wills_Ring

   Wills Rings are expensive in comparison to other seals, such as elastomer O-rings or metallic foil head gaskets. A typical comparison is one ring [ note 4 ] costing approx. $50 each, [ 8 ] around the price of a high-performance head gasket for a four-cylinder engine.
