Information
How does a head gasket work?
A head gasket in an internal combustion engine seals the cylinders between the engine block and the cylinder head. It prevents leakage of coolant or oil into the cylinders and ensures maximum compression.
What can go wrong with a head gasket?
If there is blue exhaust smoke or an abnormal amount of steam erupting from the tailpipe, the head gasket may be damaged. Compression loss can cause a rough running engine or reduction in engine power. If coolant leaks from the cylinders, the catalytic converter could be damaged, or even the engine in extreme cases.
What are my options?
Dependent on the severity of the problem, a skilled owner can repair a head gasket, or the vehicle can be taken to an auto repair shop. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise repair services and sell parts. Other sites offer free DIY repair instructions and others sell service repair manuals.
