That is the most typical thing to cause a warped head. A warped head is a severe diagnoses and not the first thing that would come to mind for a problem. Don't know what the issue is but if you have a problem that has lead to you think you have a warped head and you haven't had a extreme over heat of the motor I will bet you don't have warped head.
Blown head gasket - warpped head - or both.
Unless the engine was run hot and warpped the head, you should be able to get it done for $400. If you've run it hot and warpped the head to the point it has to be replaned, figure $1000. Either way, there are great cars and worthy of the investment.
if the motor was run hot there are several things that could have happened.first it could of cracked or warpped a head. second it could have a spun bearing. that seases up after it gets hot .
Headgasket or head may have gone bad and hydrolically locked the motor.
Your engine most likely overheated
has the car been overheated?
The most common cause is an engine that overheated.
you probably got a cracked head
3 possibilities and none of them are good: 1. Blown head gasket (almost always caused by an overheated engine) 2. Cracked head (almost always caused by an overheated engine) 3. Cracked block (almost always caused by an overheated engine)
because the block is cracked or a head is cracked. or if you are lucky it could be just a head gasket. Has it overheated?
The head, along with everything above it, will have to be removed. If the engine overheated then the head could be warped as well.
No, head gaskets usually blow because the engine overheated or there was a defect in the gasket or head during production.
