How to Determine if a Car's Cylinder Head Gasket is Blown?
1 Answers
Phenomena of a blown car cylinder head gasket: 1. Burn damage between the cylinder edges of the gasket: The engine lacks power, the car feels weak when driving, has poor acceleration. When removing the air filter, a "popping" sound can be heard at the intake pipe opening during engine idle. 2. Burn damage connecting to the water jacket hole: The radiator bubbles and boils over, and white smoke appears in the exhaust. 3. Burn damage connecting to the oil passage: Some engine oil may enter the cylinder and burn off, resulting in blue smoke in the exhaust. 4. Burn damage connecting to the external atmospheric environment: The engine has poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and emits intense popping sounds from the damaged area of the gasket.
