The Importance of Your Head Gasket
As denoted by its name, a head gasket is a gasket that sits between the block of an engine and its cylinder head. While head gaskets are a relatively small part of the engine, they play an important role in the engine. Head gaskets seal off the combustion process within the engine and prevent a variety of fluids and gases from exiting the combustion chamber of the engine. There are a variety of issues that will be caused once the head gasket has become damaged.
Issues with the Gasket
Blown head gaskets can create even worse issues for a driver in the long term. Head gaskets become damaged over time before they suddenly “blow”. Extremely high engine temperatures are what normally lead to the deterioration of a vehicle’s head gasket. Like a coolant leak or a malfunctioning thermostat, engine issues can cause an engine to run hotter than it is supposed to. The engine’s high temperatures can cause the engine to warp and the head gasket to lose its original shape. Once the engine has become warped enough or the gasket has deformed enough, then the gasket won’t be able to form an adequate seal between the cylinder head and engine block, leading to several major problems.
Blown Head Gasket Diagnosis
If you check your oil and notice that it is milky in color rather than brown, then you can be certain that your vehicle’s head gasket is blown. When a head gasket blows, it will allow oil and coolant to mix within the engine. An additional sign that your engine’s coolant is mixing with the oil is discolored smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. Along with discolored fluids, your vehicle will experience a large decrease in power when the head gasket has blown and allowed pressure to flow out of the combustion chamber.
