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.

   Work Completed: Cylinder head cleaned and new head gasket fitted, full service performed, hubcaps replaced, aftermarket leather canopy replaced with correct clear dome, engine casing polished, crease on the rear mudguard bent back to shape, welded and patched, full respray from mint green to red and white, new chrome bits fitted to upgrade the ...

4. Gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

   Internal pressure acts upon the faces of the V, forcing the gasket to seal against the flange faces. Most spiral wound gasket applications will use two standard gasket thicknesses: 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. With 1/8 inch thick gaskets, compression to a 0.100 inch thickness is recommended. For 3/16 inches, compress to a 0.13 inch thickness.

5. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Silicone is often used to seal maintenance access openings in aerospace equipment. Silicone is a widely used material in the aerospace industry due to its sealing properties, stability across an extreme temperature range, durability, sound dampening and anti-vibration qualities, and naturally flame retardant properties. Maintaining extreme ...

6. Subaru EJ engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine

   The EJ251 commonly experienced head gasket failures in the form of interior channel breaches or exterior fluid leaks due to the use of a single layer coated gasket, vs the Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket used in later models. Intake air mass is calculated by the use of a MAP sensor and Intake Air Temp Sensor, unlike the EJ253 which uses a MAF ...

7. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   RTV silicone (room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone) is a type of silicone rubber that cures at room temperature. It is available as a one-component product, or mixed from two components (a base and curative).

8. Talk:Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Thermal_expansion

   A factor in head gasket failure on iron block/aluminum head engines (e.g., the Lotus Twin Cam of the 1960s) is shear damage of the gasket due to the unequal expansion. That can be mitigated with teflon or graphite on the mating surfaces (counterintuitive, perhaps, for a seal), which facilitates slippage rather than shear damage within the gasket.

9. 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans - Wikipedia

   As others fell away, the works cars came up the field, all comfortably in the top-20. This was a relief after Gabbiani had been punted off early and the team-leading car of Heyer/Patrese/Ghinzani blew a head gasket and cracked a cylinder head at 5am. [32] This left one works car and the Jolly Club car circulating.
