head gaskets
Cylinder block seals
Head gaskets are seals positioned between an engine's cylinder head and engine block, preventing coolant and oil from mixing while maintaining compression in the combustion chambers.
A blown head gasket is a common and serious engine failure, often caused by overheating: The mechanic said my head gasket was blown and quoted me twelve hundred dollars.
