A common cause of problems in cylinder head gaskets is leaks in the gasket. When a leak forms, the gasket must be replaced.
the head gasket
Blown head gasket. More common on a catera is a cracked oil cooler, head gasket problems are very rare on them.
Were the rings replaced at the time the head gasket was replaced? Common problem when replacing the head gasket is not fixing other engine problems which usually go hand in hand with head gasket problems.
Although you didn't specify the year. Cadillacs 4.1, 4.5, and 4.9 engines were prone to head and gasket problems. Good luck
What is it doing? Your question is too vague
that is a bad head gasket or blown head gasket the engine needs to be repair
Generally, engine problems such as a blown head gasket or warped head.
Should just be the gasket but check the upper side of the cylinder head while you have it apart to see if it has problems. Intake gasket leaks will present vacuum problems, if pressure is pushing air out of the affected area then it may be the head.
Hi A head gasket can leak oil without causing overheating problems. If the gasket has blown between an oil gallery and the outer edge of the head it will show as the problem that you are having. best wishes
The main cause of a blown head gasket is engine overheating. Of course it can be a manufacturing defect but that is not common.
It has Head problems.... if it has a casting number of 706 on the top end of the head, then have the head pressure tested. It cracks in the #1 head bolt hole area.
