What can cause crack block or leak in head gasket in 95 impala SS?

A cracked block or a leak in the head gasket of the 1995 Impala SS can be caused by overheating the motor or even by drastic temperature changes. For example, adding cold water to the motor when an engine is hot can cause the block to crack. Gaskets sometimes leak when worn or when exposed to extreme temperatures.Ê

If you are sure that it did not freeze and crack the block, Then the intake manifold gasket is leaking. That is a common problem with the vortec Chevy engines. You need to replace the gasket with a factory Chevy gasket from the dealer.
White smoke is blowing out of the exhaust on a Golf 1300 how can you fix this?
the cylinder head gasket needs to be checked you have a blown head gasket or a crack in your engine block. this is causing water to leak into your cylinders and evaorate in the heat blowing lots of steam out of your exhaust. blown gasket = new gasket cracked block = new engine and stop over revving your engine. shift BEFORE redline and if you have, DO NOT bounce the rev limiter. if you engine spins to fast, it gets to hot. if it gets to hot, you blow seals, break stuff, or crack your block. Did you perhaps not have enough antifreeze in the system during a cold spell, allowing the coolant to freeze, expand and crack the block?
How does a head gasket gets cracked and how much would it cost to get it fixed on a 1996 Nissan Altima?
When an engine overheats the head or block or both can crack or the head and/or block can warp or you can be lucky and none of the above might happen. If the head warps your head gasket will fail. If the head and/or block crack you will need to find replacments. If the block warps you will need to bore the cylinders and align bore the lower end. None of the above are cheap.
