Ever wonder how your engine contracts and expands at different temperatures without breaking? Well, you can thank your head gasket for that! The gasket allows for expansion to occur in a way that doesn’t damage the block itself. This also allows the block to be split in two, which in turn gives mechanics access to the block’s inner components. If this gasket were to rupture or blow, the structural integrity of your engine is put at risk. So what causes a head gasket to blow? Overheating for prolonged periods of time. Your head gasket is resilient, but it can only handle so much heat.
Not sure if you have a blown head gasket? Some of the symptoms that will appear include thick white smoke coming from your exhaust, mass coolant consumption, performance issues, fuel efficiency issues, and overheating issues. We highly recommend ceasing the operation of your vehicle if you notice any of these symptoms. Further operation could lead to more severe damage and thousands of extra dollars in repair bills.
If the rocker arms within your heavy-duty engine aren’t getting adequate oil flow, your camshafts may end up being flattened. If this happens you’ll likely have restricted valve movement and engine timing issues. Common symptoms include performance issues, overheating issues, and other similar problems.
