Signs of a blown cylinder head gasket in a car

The vehicleu2019s engine consists of two parts- one is the engine and the other is the cylinder block. The head gasket is nothing but the cushioned between these two parts. The head gasket is designed in such a way that it can ensure maximum compression. When the engine heat becomes more than normal it can cause a blown head gasket. A blown head gasket can cause white smoke emission, milky white coloration in the oil, engine overheating, etc. If you notice any of these symptoms just shut down the engine and call a certified car professional who can replace the gasket and make the vehicle efficient again.

  1. SIGNS OF A BLOWN CYLINDER HEAD GASKET IN A CAR

  2. The primary job of a head gasket is to act as a barrier which prevents the leakage of engine oil and coolant into the combustion chamber.

  3. It is installed between the cylinder heads and engine blocks in order to properly seal the gap and prevent any kinds of leakage.

  4. Besides, It also plays a crucial role to increase the efficiency of the engine by ensuring maximum compression.

  5. However, extreme amounts of pressure and temperature generated due to the internal combustion might cause physical damages to the head gasket.

  6. A damaged head gasket could not do its job properly which could adversely affect the performance of a car.

  8. ENGINE OVERHEATING As mentioned earlier, cylinder head gasket prevents the leakage of coolant into the combustion chamber.

  9. However, a damaged or cracked heads gasket could not do so as a result of which coolant enters the combustion chamber.

  10. Lack of sufficient coolant due to the leakage could lead to the engine overheating.

  11. So, a sudden rise or drop of engine temperature should not be ignored.

  12. EMERGENCE OF WHITE SMOKE Leakage of coolant into the combustion chamber is solely responsible for the appearance of sweet smelling white smoke from the exhaust system.

  13. Besides, leakage of engine oil to the combustion chamber might also generate thick bluish smoke.

  14. So, the color and smell of the smoke generated from the tailpipe should not be overlooked.

  15. Timely action should be taken to prevent any major problems.

  16. POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE A damaged or cracked head gasket could not optimize the compression inside the combustion chamber.

  17. Leakage of compressed air to fuel mixture from the combustion chamber could also adversely affect the power output of an engine.

  18. So, a sudden drop in power output of the engine should not be neglected.

  19. CONTAMINATED ENGINE OIL Cracked or blown head gaskets could not hold back coolant out of the cylinder.

  20. When coolant is mixed with the coolant or antifreeze, then it makes milky sludge which should not be overlooked.

  21. BOTTOM LINE

  22. Head gasket is an important part of the engine.

  23. Blown head gasket could adversely affect the power output of an engine as well as it could trigger major mechanical malfunctions.

  24. So, early detection of such problems might help a lot to prevent any major mechanical issues.
