The engine at the heart of your car, truck, SUV, or van relies on a complete collection of gaskets. They fit in -- and over -- such parts as the cylinder head, intake and exhaust manifolds, oil pan, valves, and timing cover. Their job is simple, but important. They keep fuel, oil, coolant, and gases from leaking out of the engine, while also preventing outside contaminants from collecting on the many engine parts and causing harm.

Since gaskets seal parts off, they need to be made to hold up to a variety of temperatures, pressures, and chemicals. That's why they're usually made of silicon or composite materials. However, even the highest quality gaskets can go bad over time. Signs of this include a loss of power, oil leaks, an overheating engine, and white smoke coming from your exhaust them right away is essential to keeping your engine running right. You may even want to go ahead and replace the full set while you're at it, just to be safe.

Genuine OEM Full Set Gaskets Perform Best

The average price for a full set of gaskets can run anywhere from $10 to $600, depending on your make, model, and year. Add in labor costs, and you can easily spend more than $1,000 on the repair. With that kind of money at stake, it only makes sense to buy the best gasket sets for your model. Those would be the ones made by your manufacturer and designed to fit your vehicle's engine.
