Troubleshooting
Engine overheating after installation
Ensure the cooling system has been properly bled of air and filled with the correct coolant mixture. Verify the thermostat is functioning correctly.
Coolant or oil leaks detected around the cylinder head
Re-check torque specifications and tightening sequence for cylinder head bolts. Ensure mating surfaces were perfectly clean and flat before installation.
White smoke from exhaust (coolant burning)
Confirm the gasket is correctly seated and all sealing surfaces are intact. A persistent issue may indicate other engine problems or improper installation.
Engine misfires or rough running
Verify that the cylinder head bolts were torqued to the correct specifications and sequence. Check for any vacuum leaks or issues with ignition or fuel systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This FAI Cylinder Head Gasket (HG1164C) is specifically designed for Ford FOCUS II Station Wagon (DA_, FFS, DS) models manufactured between 2007-2012 with 1.6 TDCi 81KW (110HP) engines, and between 2004-2012 with 1.6 TDCi 66KW (90HP) engines. It is essential to verify the vehicle's exact engine and production dates, and compare measurements with the existing gasket before purchasing to ensure correct fitment, as variations can occur.
Setup: Installation of a cylinder head gasket must be performed by a qualified technician. This process typically involves removing the cylinder head, cleaning all mating surfaces meticulously, and installing the new gasket according to the manufacturer's torque specifications and sequence. Incorrect installation can lead to engine damage.
Care: As a non-serviceable engine component once installed, the primary care relates to proper installation and ensuring the engine's cooling and lubrication systems are maintained to prevent premature failure of the gasket.
