, 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 with the coolant.
When your head gasket fails
Mixes easily with all types of coolant and antifreeze - no need to flush your system.
allows combustion gases, under great pressure,
to leak into the cooling system.....
The most common head gasket failure
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.
If your vehicle has a persistent, slow loss of coolant, yet you can see no leaks on the ground, or seepage from hoses, that means the head gasket has almost certainly failed.
