Head Gasket Repair
Cylinder head gasket replacement & engine compression testing
Professional Head Gasket Repair in Dubai
The head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block, maintaining compression within the cylinders and preventing coolant and oil from mixing. A blown head gasket is one of the most serious engine problems a vehicle can experience. At CCM Garage, we specialize in head gasket diagnosis, repair, and replacement using precision techniques and quality components.
Symptoms of a blown head gasket include engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust, milky oil (coolant mixing with oil), loss of coolant without visible leaks, and compression loss between cylinders. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to catastrophic engine damage requiring complete engine replacement.
Our head gasket repair service includes pressure testing the cooling system, performing a compression test and leak-down test, removing and resurfacing the cylinder head (if needed), installing a new MLS (multi-layer steel) or composite gasket, and reassembling with new head bolts. We also inspect the timing components, water pump, and cooling system while the engine is disassembled.
Common Problems & Symptoms
- Engine overheating frequently: Combustion gases entering coolant system, causing air pockets and overheating
- White smoke from exhaust: Coolant burning in the combustion chamber through the failed gasket
- Milky or frothy oil on dipstick: Coolant mixing with engine oil through the breached gasket seal
- Loss of coolant without visible leak: Coolant being consumed internally through the combustion chamber
- Bubbles in radiator or coolant reservoir: Exhaust gases forcing their way into the cooling system
