The longer you wait the more damage will be done to the engine due to the coolant mixing with the oil.

Bubbles in my radiator for car?

Could be a bad head gasket or a cracked head. Don't wait, have a trusted mechanic diagnose it.


What could cause coolant to be leaking from the exhaust manifold gasket - you pulled the cylider head and had head pressure tested and installed new head gasket and exhaust manifold gasket - it starts?

Just because you had the heads tested does not mean it fixes everything. Engine blocks crack to. drain anti freeze fluch with water and put in K&N block sealer. DO NOT USE WITH ANTI FREEZE IN IT, IT MIXES AND TURNS TO JELLO. WAIT SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THEN REPLACE ANTI FREEZE. AFTER YOU FLUSH ENGINE AGAIN. SHOULD FIX PROBLEM!


2001 ford escort losing coolant in radiator no visible leaks?

coolant usage is not a dripI had this problem on my Chevy 350 v8. In my case it was a blown head gasket in its early stage of breakdown. It became white smoke billowing out of the left of the engine My set up is dual exhaust. took about two weeks until I had to tear down and replace gaskets. If you wait too long it will warp the head-mine did. I have dual exhaust. If your dip stick has white goo on the end of it you have water in the oil...dead give away to a blown head gasket

Do you need to start the engine to seat the new head gasket?

Most head gaskets are considered no re-torque. Meaning once torqued to spec that's it. However, I do know some guys that torque it and while on the engine stand will wait a day and re-torque. Not really necessary if you use a good no re-torque head gasket.

a blown head gasket If it's a Quad 4 they had problems with warped (aluminum) cylinder heads. Can often get by with shaving the head or if necessary, rebuilt heads are $250-$300. The longer you wait the more likely you will have to get another head.

Head gasket removal and installation on 98 dodge Ram 1500 4X4?

White smoke and water coming from the tail pipe.Dipstick or oil cap has milking color.Outer leakage on either head.These are the key indicators. I am tearing my ram down this weekend. I do not have the milky oil but have slight white smoke/ water dripping from tail pipe and loss of power. You do not want to wait until it blows! If you are doing it yourself I recommend doing both head gaskets and buying a head gasket kit so you can replace all other gaskets getting to the actual heads. There is a lot to it like stretching the new head bolts, taking heads to a machine shop and having them machined to assure they are not warped, etc. You should do or have a compression and or leak down test to pinpoint where the leakage is coming from iehead gasket, exhaust/intake valve etc. If you have to have a shop do it, your looking at $1000 dollars labor per side. You do it, less than $150 for both sides (gasket kit). Hope this helps.
