No. Why do you want to double the gasket? Is it on cylinder head because of overheating? If so then the cylinder head need machined to make it straight again, other wise the gasket will not hold and will blow out once more. |

Anticannibal: Well, not proper but can be done in very limited circumstance and not by using ordinary gaskets. In the Nigerian context? Not advisable at all. 1 Like |

Anticannibal:Doubling the headgasket means you are altering the compression ratio . By the time you finish the job ,your car will never give out the same performance . If you are doing this because of hidden overheating issue ,i will advice you flee away from the kazeem before he dug a pit in your pocket . Overheating is a symptons of a issue ,resolve the issue and the overheating will go away .The crude surgical operation your kazeem want to do on your car is called supressing the overheating which will spell doom for your engine . If i were you,i will patronise a professional that knows his onion who will charge more but will give your car a permanent resolution than pay 1000 naira fee to kazeem that will destroy my expensive engine . 13 Likes |

You only do that when you're replacing with inferior gasket. Its better to get a single original gasket and be there to ensure the mechanic fits it. 1 Like |

Make sure you buy ORIGINAL top gasket there will be no need to double it, but if you buy the inferior one which is cheaper then you MUST double it. The choice is yours. Thank You!!! |

surrogatesng:that's not true, those that doubled gaskets are the less priviledge who can not afford to replace Top cylinder, when overlapping occur due to excessive over heating, the Top must be replace, but not all fingers are equall, due to kazeem vast experience, he can therefore suggest to the poor owner to do a reboil grinding on the Top cylinder, in the process left extral gap for compressing leakages, the gasket must be doubled. Note, these said set of cars must be outdated that need complete replacement, so all these non professional marketers dig more hole to your pockets as they endup calling on the condemned Kazeem to solve many of there problems . the different is kazeem repair, while them professionals replaced . in situation you don't have money to replace, your car stays donkey years in there workshop . 10 Likes |

Our wonderful mechs on dis side of d world advocate so many leaf rustling rather than root pulling tactics for combating engine overheating, one of which is top gasket doubling. Others are temperature thermostat removal, creating additional fan, tacking d main fan, thereby converting it from auto to manual mode etc. if u hav ever stopped to ask urself why d native doctor who makes others rich never gets rich himself, then u wil appreciate these aforementioned gimmicks are out to ruin ur car. SIMPLY GET THE CAUSE OF OVERHEATING IDENTIFIED & CORRECT IT. QED 3 Likes |
