Do you remember - what is the function of the head gasket?

Although you might've never heard the term "head gasket" if you're not interested in automotive engineering, it is in fact, one of the most important parts of an engine. The head gasket seals the engine block from the cylinder head. It also prevents leakage between those two parts. By doing this, it ensures maximum compression. And, of course, at the same time, it keeps the fluids, which are water, oil, and exhaust gases from mixing.
