How We Handle KIA Head Gasket Replacement

  1. 1
    KDS System Diagnosis

    Block test using KIA diagnostic protocols to detect CO2 in coolant, confirming head gasket failure patterns.

  2. 2
    Cylinder Head Removal

    Remove KIA's aluminum cylinder head following torque sequence, replacing single-use stretch bolts with OEM specifications.

  3. 3
    Head Surface Inspection

    Measure cylinder head warpage using precision tools, common in Dubai's heat-stressed KIA Theta II engines.

  4. 4
    Gasket Installation

    Install genuine KIA head gasket with proper sealant application for turbocharged Stinger and Sorento engines.

  5. 5
    System Testing

KIA Owner Tips
  • Monitor Telluride and Sorento coolant levels monthly during summer months to catch early head gasket seepage.
  • Address KIA DCT overheating issues promptly as excessive heat accelerates head gasket deterioration in turbocharged models.
  • Use KIA-approved coolant only as incorrect mixtures cause galvanic corrosion in aluminum heads, leading to gasket failure.
