  Before proceeding further, let's understand the working of the Exhaust manifold Gasket. The exhaust manifold is the metal part in the engine of your vehicle that is responsible for collecting exhaust gasses and transferring them to the exhaust for expelling them from the exhaust pipe at the tail of your vehicle. The manifold is connected to the engine cylinder heads and sealed with the exhaust manifold gasket. The gasket is used as a seal in order to prevent any excess gas from escaping the pipes and entering again in the mixture of fuel and air that have not been combusted yet. It is usually a multi-layered gasket that contains metal and other materials that are designed to provide the best seal possible. This gasket also seals the passages together to make sure that the gasses are exhausting through the exhaust pipe of your vehicle. Another advantage of the exhaust manifold gasket is that it helps the engine to breathe. For the proper functioning of your engine, it needs to ...

  The diesel fuel injector is a very essential component of the diesel engine. By pressurizing and injecting the fuel through a fixed or electronically controlled aperture, the system forces it into the air that has been compressed to high pressure in the combustion chamber. This delivers fuel to the engine in the form of a spray. The diesel fuel injection includes a Fuel Injection Pump, high-pressure pipe, injection nozzle, feed pump, fuel filter, and fuel sediment at the bottom of the filter to separate water content from the fuel. But, when the fuel injection system doesn’t clean or maintained properly then the process of fuel injection becomes inefficient or could even lead to engine failure. However, it is observed majorly that the most common issues that lead to inefficiency or diesel engine failure include clogged and dirty fuel injectors and water or air in the fuel injection system. As we all know the fact that the diesel is more viscous than gas, so if the diesel comes in...

  The Cylinder head gasket is one of the most critical parts of the engine. It is mounted between the cylinder head and engine block and its primary function is to maintain a seal between the two parts. The head gasket basically contains coolant in the relevant passageways, prevents air & combustion gas leakage, and maintains compression of the engine cylinders.  The Cylinder head is placed on the cylinder block or engine housing. It forms a part of the combustion chamber with the placement of the piston and the cylinder. Some of its major functions are mentioned below in brief. Functions of Cylinder head at a glance: • It provides the mounting structure for various components (for example the inlet and outlet exhaust valves and ducts, spark plugs, etc.) • It acts as a seal for the combustion chamber and the powerhouse for the engine’s mechanical control. • It has the passage for coolant, engine oil, and combustion gasses. • It dissolute the heat produced in the en...

  The fuel injector is a component commonly found on virtually all vehicles equipped with fuel injectors. The main function of injector o rings includes sealing the tip of the injector with the intake manifold and fuel rail. The Fuel rail, the injectors, and the intake manifold are separate and different components so they require a seal especially when they are completely assembled and secured together. TrackTech Fuel injector   seals are usually made of polyurethane or nitrile rubber due to their fuel resistant properties. While the o rings are made to be heavy-duty because using them for a longer period can eventually make it wear out and cause issues with the vehicle. On a general note, the bad or failing o rings will produce some symptoms that can alert the vehicle of a potential issue. So, we have mentioned a few of the symptoms of bad Fuel injector o rings as below: 1. Check for fuel smell from the engine side. If you find a fuel smell from the engine’s bay, then check ...
