The main sign of a blown cylinder head gasket is an increased engine operating temperature. Everything is logical and simple here. Gases, breaking through a damaged gasket into the antifreeze, begin to fill it with air bubbles and it begins to cope with cooling worse. The consequence of air in the cooling system is always one - engine overheating, but engine overheating has its own consequences ... From major repairs to engine replacement. How else to determine that the cylinder head gasket is blown? In addition to the increase in temperature, it is worth paying attention to a number of other signs. Inspect the dipstick and oil filler plug for a suspicious substance - emulsion. Unscrew the cap of the expansion tank and inspect the condition of the antifreeze - is there an oil film on its surface? White, thick smoke from the exhaust pipe, despite the warm weather and warmed up engine - is another sign of a blown gasket. However, it is not mandatory. Since white smoke is an indicator of an already advanced case, the final stage of gasket breakdown. A water hammer is about to happen. Another diagnostic method is using product #2. The engine is warmed up and turned off. A rubber product is installed instead of the expansion tank cap. We start the engine and give it revs. The product should NOT swell to a ball. You can highlight a few more diagnostic options for yourself from the video, and we will move on. In addition to engine overheating, what are the other consequences of a broken cylinder head gasket? One option is that the gasket breaks even more, and then it is not the gases that go into the antifreeze, but the antifreeze that gets into the combustion chamber. This is the final stage of the problem, which is famous for its thick white smoke from the exhaust pipe and water hammer with all the consequences. ???? We have already mentioned this, but nevertheless. Another consequence is a change in the geometry of the block. In other words, it is led, which further aggravates the problem, and engine oil can also join the "water-gas party". From all that has been said, we conclude: in no case should you “ignore” the overheating of the internal combustion engine, even if it seems to you that the temperature arrow has gone slightly above the norm. ???? In general, there are a lot of possible scenarios, but the result of inaction is always sad. If you simply “ignore”, then either everything will end with a major overhaul of the internal combustion engine, or it will simply replenish the amount of scrap metal at the CherMet reception. Here everything is as always - the sooner the problem is detected and correctly solved, the better. ______ Contact information and links to our resources: ✔ Telegram: https://t.me/topmotors_nsk ✔ VK: https://vk.com/topmotors_nsk ✔ TikTok: / topmotors_nsk ✔ Yandex Zen: https://zen.yandex.ru/topmotors ✔ Territorially: Novosibirsk, st.
