Seals and gaskets are very basic but essential parts of a machine. A car cannot be assumed to exist without gaskets and seals because of their critical role in lubricant and fluid protection.
 
From front to back, there are various gaskets and seals present. Each of them has a special function, and they act as the guardians of various liquid restrictions invisibly.
 
However, the most critical gasket around the engine is the head gasket. It is worthwhile to gain knowledge about the head gasket while a worn gasket might be responsible for substantial damage under the hood.
 
 
 
To comprehend the head gasket function in engine, it is necessary to understand the basic structure of an engine. It can divide into two parts where lower part is cylinder block while upper one is head.     
 
While the head is in charge of having the valves, spark plugs, camshaft, etc., the cylinder block houses the cylinder and the pistons. Both elements must be mutually exclusive in ord

You’re out on the road and you find that instead of driving straight, your car starts to steer away to one side of road. If you are aware of the issue, wheel misalignment is undoubtedly on your mind.
 
But if you are new to four-wheel driving, wheel alignment would not be your cup of tea. Vehicle maintenance procedures like wheel alignment are quite common.  
 
But, the majority of people might not know more while they simply drive to a service centre and ask a mechanic to fix their alignment. 
 
However, it is worthwhile to keep yourself informed about a service that enables you to save money on fuel while protecting your tyres from accelerated wear and tear.




Wheel alignment signifies the position of the wheels in relation to the surface as well as the axle. In simple terms, a proper alignment requires the wheels to be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other to drive in a straight direction. 
 
It indicates that the wheels should be properly a

For an air conditioner, a compressor appears to be the most important component. But, a compressor cannot do anything if there is no refrigerant at all. There is a need to understand the importance of refrigerant inside an air conditioner.

 

Your air conditioner is just a fan without presence of refrigerant. However, low level of refrigerant cannot provide enough cooling while it might hurt a number of things inside your car’s air conditioner.

 

How Does Refrigerant Assist In Cooling Air?

 

Air conditioner refrigerants behave like a magical substance to aid air conditioning to make cooling possible. Refrigerant does it work during a cycle of transformation from liquid to gas.

It involves several components to produce the required cooled air inside a car. Refrigerant goes through the compressor where it is compressed into liquid from the gas before being sent into the condenser.

 

Condenser is a structure of several tubes where the refrigerant circulates and comes into contact with the fre

Similar to how it is difficult to imagine any mechanical movement without lubrication, it is impossible to imagine an automobile without gaskets and seals.

 

They serve as the silent guardians of different kinds of liquid restrictions, and each plays a unique role in this process.

 

The most common and critical component, the head gasket, protects the engine cylinder from the engine oil as well as coolant inflow. A car's internal combustion engine consists of two parts; one is the cylinder block, and the other is the head. The cylinder block contains the cylinder and the pistons, while the head is responsible for having valve spark plugs, the camshaft, etc.

 

However, both components work together while they have to be mutually exclusive. It means that they need some sort of cushion in between so that the engine oil or coolant cannot infiltrate inside the cylinder.

 

However, there might be a real problem when the head gasket starts to wear and tear. As it is necessary to comprehend the si
