Part Of The Motor ?
The head gasket is one of the things in a car that it needs in order for the car to run properly. If the head gasket gets damaged, then it could cause the entire motor of the car to not work. There are ways to tell if the head gasket is damaged and there are some causes for the head gasket to get damaged.One of the signs that the head gasket in a car is bad is the color under the oil cap. A yellow milky substance that is under the oil cap and in the oil itself is an indication that the head gasket is bad. This means the gasket itself is broken and is allowing moisture and other fluids in the oil. If you see this in your car, take it to a mechanic immediately before it damages the motor more than necessary. It is not as expensive to replace the head gasket as it is to replace the motor. If you have recently had the motor replaced, keep an eye on the oil for this yellow substance. Sometimes the gasket that was replaced in the motor does not fit well and it will crack when the motor has been running.Another sign that the head gasket may be bad is smoke coming from the tail pipe of the car. This is not the only reason why your car would have smoke coming from it, but it is a good indicator. If the smoke is black, this would especially be a reason for concern as this is coming from the motor and the oil. Take your car to a garage and get them to inspect the car to see if there are any leaks. If there are no leaks, then the next thing would be to check the gasket. The gasket itself can be changed easily if it is on top of the motor, which most of them are. The motor would not need to be removed, keeping the cost of the repair down.

Did you just change the head gasket or did you take the head to a machine shop to be checked? If you didn't take the head to machine shop the most likely answer is the head is warped and not allowing new gasket to seal properly. It's possible that the machine shop can redeck the head and it will be fine. Hope this is helpful!!!

How much does it cost to replace a cracked cylinder head on a 1989 corvette?
First, you really cannot change one head on a V8 engine. Second if the buy a new or remanufactured head it will change the compression and you will probably blow the head gasket on the head on the other side of the engine. That said, if you replace both heads you will raise the compression and may start burning oil, sometimes a lot of oil depending on the miles on your motor. Best bet, if you can afford it is to just have the motor rebuilt. To answer you question on the cracked head if you take it off yourself you can probably get the head, head gasket and the valve cover gasket for under $500.00 bucks. You do have to have a torque wrench to torque the head bolts on correctly or it will be a total waste of time. If you take it in it may be upwards of $800.00-$1200.00 dollars to repair. GOOD LUCK in what you decide!!
