Blown Head Gasket BLOWN HEAD GASKET JUNK CAR BUYER AUSTIN 512-789-2177 A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder head(s) in
an internal combustion engine.The gasket itself is a mechanical
seal that prevents leaks between two things joined under compression by
filling the space between them. It works
similarly to a washer on a bolt. By
preventing leaks, you ensure the best compression and you keep coolant from
leaking into the engine. The head gasket
in the engine has to take both hot and cold temperatures, back and forth, over
and over. Cracks and leaks are bound to
happen. The head gasket has a tough job
and is the weakest link of the chain of parts that keep the combustion engine
moving, so it’s more likely to fail than other parts. If a head gasket leaks
or blows, it’s usually not just one event that leads up to it. Either could happen during normal
driving. The heat of the engine can
gradually wear the gasket down with no major problems ever occurring. Until it leaks or blows, however, it’s hard
to know if the head gasket is running out of time. It’s not something you can see looking at the
engine; it’s way the heck in there and can’t be accessed without some major
disassembly. Other things may signal
your head gasket’s cry for help. You may
see coolant leak from below the exhaust, you may be losing coolant with no
visible leak or noticing bubbles in the
radiator or coolant overflow tank. The
engine may smoke (this will be white smoke; if not, keep looking because your
engine has another problem), the exhaust may smell sweet or the oil may look
like a rancid milkshake. So what to do if you
have a head gasket problem? It’s not a
cheap repair. Let’s face it, this thing
sits inside the engine. If it’s a minor
leak, you may be able to seal it with products available like Blue Devil or
K-Seal. Talk to a mechanic you trust to
determine whether this will do the trick.
Using these products could be as simple as pouring it in and letting it
move through the works as you drive or may require a drain and flush of the
cooling system—either option is far cheaper than replacing the gasket
itself. Be forewarned that products like
Blue Devil are meant to be permanent. Speaking
from personal experience, once it’s sealed, there’s no going back or getting it
out or working around it. That’s
generally the idea, but sometimes folks look at it as a temporary patch. |

Blown Manifold
The
exhaust manifold gasket helps seal the union between the exhaust manifold and
the side of the engine’s cylinder head. A blown exhaust gasket often protrudes
from the gap between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder head. Determining if an exhaust manifold gasket has failed is easy to do. First; SIGHT: A blown exhaust gasket often protrudes from the gap between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder head. Visually examine
the area where the manifold and head meet, if the engine is a V-6 or V-8,
compare both sides. Look for
pieces of gasket that are protruding far more than the rest which will indicate
the point of failure other visual sign is sooty exhaust which will stain the
side of the cylinder head or manifold. SOUND: Exhaust gas and noise are
expelled from the engine at a high velocity, down through the exhaust manifold
and into exhaust pipes, where they pass through the catalytic converter and
muffler before exiting from the tail. The event your manifold gasket is blown,
the exhaust gas will escape at the seal between the manifold and cylinder head,
resulting in a loud bang or pop noise each time that cylinder fires. SCENT: if
strong exhaust odor is present in the engine area, inspect the exhaust gaskets
to see if one or more has failed and is now allowing the untreated exhaust
fumes to escape into the engine well. A cracked or broken exhaust manifold is most often caused by one of two
things. The first reason is heat cycles and/or age. Over time, the manifolds
just can't take the heat anymore and cracks begin to form in them. The second
common reason for exhaust manifold failure is because of broken exhaust system
hangers. In your Yearly emissions
inspections, you will find that having a cracked exhaust manifold will instantly
get you a rejection sticker. That's because when you have a hole in the exhaust
system, it throws off the oxygen sensor readings, and will cause your vehicle
to run inefficiently. You could also lose a few miles per gallon. Replacing an
exhaust manifold will be a different procedure for each vehicle, so grabbing a
service manual is a great start |
