A replacement head gasket sitting loosely on top of a four-cylinder 1989 Vauxhall Astra engine block. Once positioned correctly the cylinder head will be bolted down on top of it, using a torque wrench. A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder head (s) in an internal combustion engine.part from sealing the cylinder, the head gasket also seals water and oil conduits between the head and block. Any connectivity between them will cause engine failure, or significant problems like burning oil (smoke from the exhaust). Blue exhaust smoke may be indicative of oil burning.
