What are the symptoms of a damaged engine cylinder head gasket?
1 Answers
When the engine cylinder head gasket is damaged, symptoms may include loss of power with abnormal noises, white smoke from the exhaust, and burning engine oil. Below are detailed explanations: Loss of power with abnormal noises: If the gasket is burned or damaged between the cylinder edges, the engine will experience a loss of power, the vehicle will feel weak when driving, and acceleration will be poor. When the air filter is removed, abnormal noises can be heard from the intake pipe opening while the engine is idling. White smoke from the exhaust: If the burned area of the gasket connects to the water jacket hole, bubbles may appear in the radiator, the engine may overheat, and white smoke will emerge from the exhaust. Burning engine oil: If the burned area of the gasket connects to the oil passage, some engine oil may enter the cylinders and burn, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust.
