  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)

    An overflow tank that runs dry may result in the coolant vaporizing, which can cause localized or general overheating of the engine. Severe damage may result if the vehicle is allowed to run over temperature. Failures such as blown head gaskets, and warped or cracked cylinder heads or cylinder blocks may be the result. Sometimes there will be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_I4_engine

    Until the cylinder head casting was redesigned some time in 1998, some vehicles would require this repair more than once, and replacement cylinder heads could develop the same crack. It was estimated that between 2% and 5% of SOHC Saturn S-Series vehicles were affected by this defect.

  5. Sodium silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate

    Sodium silicate can be used to fill gaps in the head gasket of an engine. This is especially useful for aluminium alloy cylinder heads, which are sensitive to thermally induced surface deflection. Sodium silicate is added to the cooling system through the radiator and allowed to circulate. When the sodium silicate reaches its "conversion ...

    1980 – Weight reduction though thinner cylinder wall block and light weight head castings. Heads are prone to cracking and blocks typically cannot tolerate an overbore more than .040". 1986 – The rear main seal was changed from a 2-piece rubber design to a 1-piece rubber design that used a mounting appliance to hold it in place. This ...

  7. Hydraulic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_seal

    Rod seal: Is installed on the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. Prevents leakage of hydraulic fluid to the outside of the sealing system. Helps prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic system (in conjunction with a wiper seal). [3] [4] Piston seal: Is installed on the piston head. Prevents fluid from crossing the area of the piston head.

  8. Holden Commodore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Commodore

    Awkward packaging under the low bonnet coupled with Holden's decision to utilise a cross-flow radiator (as opposed to the up-down flow radiator installed to the equivalent Nissan Skyline) meant the six-cylinder engine was especially susceptible to cracked cylinder heads, a problem not displayed on the Nissan Skyline with which it shares the ...

  9. Nikasil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikasil

    The coating was further developed as a replacement for hard-chrome plated cylinder bores for Mercury Marine Racing, and Kohler Engines, and as a repair replacement for factory-chromed snowmobiles, dirt bikes, ATVs, watercraft, and automotive V8 liners/bores. Nikasil is short for nickel silicon carbide.
