Head Gasket Replacement Service

Kia Head Gasket Replacement Service in St. Louis, MO

Modern cars are great forms of transportation with engines that deliver a lot of reliable use and power. Over time, though, those engines need maintenance to keep everything working right. One of the most important items is the head gasket. The head gasket provides a tight seal that keeps oil where it belongs. Four seasons of highly varying weather in St. Louis, MO wear out those head gaskets after a few years. The certified and highly trained technicians at Suntrup Kia South can do a head gasket replacement service on any make or model car and keep it running well.

What’s Included in This Service?

Before we replace the head gasket, our technicians will do a full diagnostic and visual check. This lets us know if the head gasket is the problem or if something else is making your engine act up. Once we determine the head gasket is the problem, we remove it and smooth out the surface upon which it sets. We put in new gaskets that will create the proper seal and prevent your engine from leaking oil or losing compression. When your car leaves the shop, all the oil stays where it should, and you get full power from your engine.

What Happens When the Head Gasket Fails?

When a head gasket starts to wear out, it becomes brittle. It will start leaking oil, and losing power as it loses compression. Your car will consume more oil, and you could have oil leak onto the ground or the exhaust manifold. Oil leaks create unsightly stains when they wind up dripping on parking lots of garage floors. They also cause smoke and foul odors that can get into the passenger cabin and make travel uncomfortable.

If you ignore a leaking head gasket for too long, it will fail completely. When that happens, your engine can suffer life-ending damage. Meanwhile, it loses life and power as the internal metal parts run hotter due to friction and a lack of oil for lubrication. A head gasket replacement service is quick and affordable to do. And it makes your car last a lot longer.
