What are the symptoms of a blown diesel engine head gasket?

[VonMalia]

Diesel engine head gasket failure exhibits the following phenomena: 1. Overheating: Main symptoms include loss of power during acceleration, misfiring sounds when accelerating with cylinder deficiency, small amounts of water discharge from the exhaust pipe. If oil-like liquid appears in the radiator, it indicates coolant passage failure; if water is found in engine oil, it indicates oil passage failure. 2. Gas leakage: High-pressure, high-temperature combustion gases escape through the head gasket, resulting in reduced engine power, stalling, or inability to maintain high speeds or full load. 3. Oil leakage: Lubricating oil leaks from the head gasket area, causing excessive oil consumption in the oil pan and potentially leading to engine crankshaft burning. 4. Coolant leakage: Cooling water leaks from the head gasket area, causing significant water consumption that may result in engine dry burning and cylinder deformation.
