Is Head Gasket Dimensions the same for every car or it differs for any type of car?
What about the material of Head Gasket? Isn't it the same as the bolt Material?

They vary widely even within the same year, make and model. Because the heads are all different.
They are cardboard looking with thin metal components.
Uhhh, bolts are steel.

They all differ. Each engine has a specific headgasket. If you use the incorrect gasket, you can get overheating concerns and/or no oil to the top of the engine. GET THE CORRECT PART!! Too much work to have to do it twice. The material is mostly the same from headgasket to headgasket. It is not the same material as say the thermostat gasket. It is put under a lot of pressure so it is made to take the pressure. No it is not the same material as the bolts.

Yes, fortunately, every motor and every head gasket in every car in the world is exactly the same. And the gaskets and every other part is all made out of bolt material.

As many differences as there are stars in the sky. Each engine size type and manufacture and patented gasket products. All are different even aftermarket gaskets vs manufacturer's are different. So when in doubt consult the dealership for correct gaskets and note you just don't reuse head bolts any more. Some are replaced when they stretch some cannot be reused at all. And torque spec plus angle very important. Aluminum heads and blocks cast iron heads and block mixed metal engines require different sealing characteristics.

head gasket dimensions are not the same on every car as every engine head is con figured differently.
I dont quite understand what you mean as material of head gasket.

Head gaskets can and are the same within car manufactures. However the majority of the time they are not. Head gaskets from manufacturer to manufacturer are never the same.

For the same make and range of the car,gaskets
are a standard size,like a Vaaxhall life 1600 cc, they
are all the same size,for an 1800cc Vauxhall life they
are a different size also a Ford 1600cc. is not the same
as The 1600cc Vauxhall,and so on
