What is a Head Gasket?
Compressed between the engine block and the cylinder head, the head gasket is an important part of your car’s interior workings. It seals the internal combustion process and prevents coolant and oil from mixing together as they travel from the engine block to the cylinder head.
Signs that your Head Gasket needs Replacing or Repairing
- Overheating engine
- Your temperature gauge is higher than usual
- White milky oil
- White smoke from the exhaust pipe
- Significant loss of coolant with no visible leaks
- There is coolant or oil on the head of the spark plugs
- You remove the cap from your car radiator and see bubbles of air rising
- Your car is chugging or suffers a loss of power
- There is oil in the water of the cooling system
