The head gasket is the mechanical seal for the internal combustion process. It also serves as a seal to prevent motor oil and coolant from mixing. The head gasket is located between the cylinder head and the engine block. Without the head gasket, the engine will have leaks and make it a very inefficient system.
A blown head gasket can be caused by a manufacturing defect or an overheating engine. If the coolant levels have not been properly maintained, the head gasket can expand due to heat and lose its seal. The most typical sign of a blown head gasket is a misfiring engine which results from the combustion process not being able to run through completely. If the engine starts to steam or engine warning light turns on, it can that the head gasket leaks.
Head gasket repair service includes examining the gasket for any cracks or leaks and determining if the head gasket can be repaired or a new part will be needed. Along with repair or replacement of the head gasket, the technician will determine the cause of the damage to the head gasket. At times, it is a manufacturing defect, but most of the time is overheating due to coolant leak or low levels of coolants. The technician should be able to find and fix the root cause of the damage.
A certified technician will examine the signs of head gasket damage. If the technician suspects the problem to be related to head gasket leak, we will have to disassemble the engine to check components for leak or damage. The battery will have to be disconnected, the coolant will have to be drained and exhaust components will have to be removed. The head gasket will be removed and machined for repair. Once it has been repaired, all the components will put back into position. It is highly recommended you take your car to a professional for head gasket repair service.
