The answer is anything from the coolant system to the combustion chamber could be responsible.
Engine Overheating
Overheating is NEVER a good sign, but we can find it is specifically one of the important index that a head gasket has blown. Using not proper gaskets will causes oil leak, when oil leaks into your coolant system, it slows its ability to cool your engine off, with the result being your engine rapidly overheating.
- Everyone in MJ we know the graphite head gasket can do better sealing than MLS. See sample 4299098 of Cummins.
Loss of Fluid in The Radiator
If there is a sudden loss in fluids it may be a failure of the cylinder head gasket. Therefore, you need to check the level of your radiator and the strength of your coolant every day to learn more about this situation. Try to find out any visible signs of leakage to make sure if the head gasket has blown or not.
- There are some loyal buyers who love MLS head gasket. See sample A4720161320 of Detroit Diesel.
White Smoke from Exhaust
A faulty head gasket may cause the white smoke from the exhaust pipe. The smoke is caused by coolant leaking into the cylinders, and then it is turned to steam during the combustion process. We suggest that you can’t ignore it in this situation since it may lead to the serious risk of damage to your vehicles.
- Metal bonded with rubber head gasket are also your good choice. See sample X52404200043 of MTU.
How to prevent a blown head gasket?
To be concluded, above are the symptoms of a blown head gasket which you should pay attention to. According to MJ’s experiences, the most important thing is to keep the engine coolant and use the head gasket with proper material.
