Signs of a blown cylinder head gasket in a car
Description:
The vehicle’s 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. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

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.

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.
