Head Gasket Failure
The engine overheats, temperature gauge moves erratically, coolant discharges forcefully from the radiator, no heat from the heater. Any of these, or any combination of them. Or rough running, white smoke, the sweet smell of antifreeze from the exhaust....... Coolant mixes with the oil, or oil mixes with the coolant.
A new head gasket costs hundreds of ££££'s to fit. The repair with K-Seal is simple, permanent, and costs £9.95. So good that all the major UK motoring organisations use it.
The most common head gasket failure allows combustion gases, under great pressure, to leak past a fault in the gasket and enter the cooling system.....
1. Combustion pressures are much higher then cooling system pressures, so exhaust gas will displace coolant and may force it from the radiator.
2. Exhaust gas is not an effective coolant, so often the engine overheats.
3. Gases are poor conductors of heat, so every time a pocket of gas passes over the coolant temperature sensor, the temperature gauge fluctuates rapidly.
4. And when the heater matrix fills with gas, there is no heat from the heater.
