steel gaskets (Multi layer steel) should not be reused. Same with stretch bolts.

When an engine is faced with overheating issues, the mating surfaces (block/head) do not always maintain a smooth even surface.

In some cases the cylinder head becomes warped.

The cylinder head can be taken to a machine shop for resurfacing, to attain smooth surface, but not every mechanic has access to such equipment. (remote areas)

Composite gaskets (paper type) are used in such cases to get proper sealing of the mating surfaces, they are made from either graphite or asbestos. In nigeria its more common to find the graphite type. The thickness ensures that when head is bolted on to the block, it fills up the uneven spaces.

The reason why mechanics do not use the steel type of headgasket after an overheat episode Is because 100per of the time it will result in leaks/loss of compression.

Graphite gaskets are not bad, as long as they are replaced each time engine is dismantled.

I have used graphite gaskets in a lot of vehicles (some running over 7years now) without any issues.

Graphite gaskets are more friendly to use in cases of overheating, and rule out the possibility of leaks after a head job.

In a lot of cases where the block and the head are made of aluminium, after an overheating episode, both surfaces become uneven, and will require extensive work in a machine shop to resurface both surfaces. In a situation where only the head is resurfaced, the uneven block will cause leaks if a steel type is used.

For vehicles like peugeot (newer models) they are sensitive to abuse, the use of paper type of gaskets will slightly affect compression ratio even though quite negligible in most cases.

You get a better compression ratio (manufacturer specs) when you use the steel head gaskets, it is also more tolerant to overheating and will not burn out as easily as the graphite type.

In summary if you want to use the steel type of gasket after an overheating episode.

1. Ensure the head cylinder is properly skimmed in a machine shop.

2. Replace stretch headbolts

3. Properly and evenly clean out the block surface with a sandblock of the right gradient.

4. If block is aluminium dont even bother with the steel type of gasket.

If you cannot go through this process, stick with graphite (paper type) head gasket, it will work, an will last, Get a good brand.

Thanks.. I have been reading about how you can make it a smooth ride. The only issue i have it when 1-2. gives a forward push. Apart from that. the car is working perfectly well. what about the issue of me putting my leg on the brakes when on drive? does it still has to do with the gear?
what is current idle speed?

HELP IS NEEDED URGENTLY. I am having a bad day. I recently bought a car and later found out that thet put I a 10pin gear inside 13 pin gear. My issue is.. can anyrhing be done to make the drive feel like a 13 gear? I also notice that if I put the car o ln drive. I have to put my legs on the brake pedal unless the car will move forward. And please what is the cost of a 13 pin gear for toyota camry v6 engine. Can my 10pin gear plus cash be swapped for a 13 pin?
nothing can be done. Its a very expensive gearbox, I do not have specifics, but its more than 350,000.

You will get used to it soon.

Next time, please do not buy a vehicle your self, pay a proffesional to look at it.

Oga GAZZUZZ PLZ THIS IS MY FIRST COMMENT ON NAIRALAND.
I HAVE ISSUE WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2002 BIG DADDY.
1.ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS COMING HOT THE OIL SIGN WILL BE SHOWING ON MY BOARD
2.BUT WHEN I PRESS THE TURTTLE THE OIL SIGN WILL DISAPPEAR,AND COME BACK WHEN I REMOVED MY LEG FROM THE ACCELERATION.
3.BUT WHEN I HAVE DRIVE FOR VERY LONG DISTANCE THE OIL SIGN WILL APPEAR AGAIN EITHER I PRESS TURTLE OR REMOVE MY LEG.
BUT ANYTIME THIS HAPPEN WILL REMOVE THE OIL SWITCH AND START THE ENGINE TO CHECK IF THE OIL IS PUMPING AND ITS ALWAY PUMPING WITH THE OIL SIGN ON .

YOUR ADVICE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED SIR.

lonelydude:
Hello Auto gurus;

Please, I started my car (automatic transmission) this morning, engaged the gear which responded successfully but the car remained immobile (feelings like an obstacle in front of the tires) despite revving up engine.

Gear oil has got no problem.

What could be responsible?

Thanks in advance.
lonelydude:
smiley my apology.missed that out.It's RAV4 2002.
you currently have a clogged transmission strainer.

Clean/replace and car will work fine.

BUT

You have bits of metal filings blocking strainer presently.

Gear will continue to fail at intervals.

Each time you clean strainer it will work.

Replace gear.

Find out what is killing present one (possibly engine ecu fault)

Fx35 is not reliable?

Can you kindly give a more detailed answer why?

I contacted one of your trained guys last year to help me to check one I wanted to buy. You specifically said he was not the discriminative type which was why I called him up to help me to check it.

He checked it and told me everything was good, but his last sentence was, "But you know it is made by Nissan and they are very problematic, maybe you should go for another brand"

I asked him if the car he went to check was fine because I had made my mind up, and he said Yes.

I got it, still use it, over a year, every single day, and it is reliable.
im happy for you sir. Enjoy your ride.

Oga Gazzuzz,

My car engine runs/doesn't just stop immediately after the ignition is turned of, this brings about hard starting on Start-up.

This I noticed after I added an injector cleaner into the system. This has been on for about 3 days now.

Peugeot 406, D8
your cooling fan is connected directly to ignition, when you turn off your ignition cooling fan becomes a power generator until blades come to a near stop engine will remain on.

I might be wrong, but its the only logical thing I could think of.
