What Are the Consequences of Engine Overheating?
1 Answers
Engine overheating can have significant impacts on the engine. The following are the consequences of engine overheating: 1. When the engine cooling system temperature becomes too high, the cooling system pipes may burst, or the heater core may rupture, causing water damage to electrical components in the cabin. 2. It can damage the engine cylinder head gasket. Once the cylinder head gasket is damaged, coolant may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, potentially bending the connecting rod. 3. Excessive engine temperature can cause the engine oil to become too thin, failing to effectively lubricate internal engine components. This leads to increased wear on engine bearings, crankshaft scoring, and piston sticking to the cylinder walls.
