Your car’s head gasket plays a key role in how your engine functions.
Inside your engine is a complex combustion system that works to get your car moving. Engine oil reduces friction between each part, while engine coolant regulates temperature to prevent overheating or freezing.
Both fluids are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly, but mixing them can deprive the oil's lubricating qualities and make the coolant stop working as it should.
This is where the head gasket comes in. Positioned at the cylinder head, it’s responsible for sealing in the internal combustion process and keeping coolant and oil from coming into contact. It also helps maintain pressure in your engine.
Unfortunately, it’s common for an old head gasket to blow out. A non-functional gasket can wreak havoc on your engine, so it’s important to get it looked at ASAP.
If you are located near or in Blandford and believe that your vehicle’s gasket has given up the ghost, call us today on 01258 459 798.
It can be hard to diagnose a blown head gasket, as it shares similar symptoms to other engine faults. With that said, there are a few warning signs that make a blown gasket stand out:
Driving with a blown head gasket not only harms your engine, but puts the lives of you and your passengers at risk.
Your engine could lose power unexpectedly, leaving you stranded in an unsafe location. Worse still, if you’re inspecting the engine, escaping coolant can be hot enough to cause burns and even start a fire.
This is why it’s crucial to get it looked at by a mechanic at the earliest opportunity.
Early intervention can prevent the need for a full head gasket replacement, saving you both time and money. It could also mean the difference between keeping your current vehicle and having to purchase a new one.
