Wallsend is in North Tyneside, just over three miles from Newcastle. It's on the northern side of the Tyne Tunnel, part of the A19 road. You must pay a toll for passing through the tunnel; you can either pre-pay (the cheaper option) or pay online by midnight the following day to avoid a fine. Wallsend Metro station is on Wooley Street; it is the only station in the UK with signs written in Latin.
The head gasket is crucial because it prevents oil and coolant from mixing and seals the internal combustion process. It is under the most pressure of any engine gasket, and it can be expensive when it fails, so it's best to shop around.
Head gasket symptoms to look out for include white or milky oil caused by leaking coolant, white exhaust smoke, loss of power and water or a sweet smell from the exhaust. Blown head gaskets are usually caused by overheating, so keeping your coolant topped up is important. You shouldn't try to drive with a blown head gasket.
A head gasket repair is usually only a temporary fix, especially when you use sealant, and if the damage is too extensive, you may need to book a full head gasket replacement. A cylinder head repair is sometimes required if the head gasket has blown.
A head gasket specialist can advise you on the exact repair your car needs and how much it will cost. Read our complete head gasket replacement guide for more information.
