How We Handle KIA Head Gasket Replacement

1
KDS System Diagnosis
Block test using KIA diagnostic protocols to detect CO2 in coolant, confirming head gasket failure patterns.
2
Cylinder Head Removal
Remove KIA's aluminum cylinder head following torque sequence, replacing single-use stretch bolts with OEM specifications.
3
Head Surface Inspection
Measure cylinder head warpage using precision tools, common in Dubai's heat-stressed KIA Theta II engines.
4
Gasket Installation
Install genuine KIA head gasket with proper sealant application for turbocharged Stinger and Sorento engines.

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.
