depends on alot of things what the gasket is made of, the type of driving conditions, the engine size, make and model,how well you maintain the vehicle , ive seen gasksets go 20 to 30 years my head gasket made it 203,000 miles before blowing and that was with me racing the car so it depends would be the best answer
Recalls on 2000 Saturn Ls-2 models?
The tail lights were recalled and a more reliable replacement has been available for several years. There was a problem with a gasket on the cooling system. There was a problem with the original coolant. There was a problem with the AC seals. The original tires (Firestone) were on a "service bulletin".
Why would the heater core in a 1994 ford escort wagon have blown for the second time inside of 2 years?
Here are a few possibilities to investigate: Failure of the installer to flush the cooling system after the initial failure. Overheating condition. Manufacturing defect in the first replacement unit. First replacement unit insecurely installed. Faulty radiator cap resulting in (likely intermittent) over-pressurization. Engine overheating problem. Use of sealer (clogger) in cooling system. Leaking head gasket. Unlikely: broken engine mount.
Why will the 99 silhouette not heat up The temp gauge rises but still no heat?
I own a '97 silhouette that had a similar problem. The first time this occurred it was the intake manifold gasket. About two years later the problem arose again, only this time it was the head gasket. These cars are notorious for these gasket problems. Worse yet is the fact that if the car runs hot you have a very good chance of warping the heads. At $1500 to repair, my silhouette is done and headed for the scrap yard. Good luck-
What are the causes of a blown head gasket on a 1997 Buick Le Sabre?
Never have seen a blown head gasket on one. You most likely need an upper intake manifold. This is a common problem the new replacments are made better and will last longer. Buick parts person for over 20 years.
What causes white smoke to come from a tailpipe in a crown vic?
This may not be the answer you're willing to hear, but the problem could be from a blown head gasket. I had the same problem on my 85 Crown Vic after hitting on it a little bit too hard after it sat for about three years. A blown head gasket would be my best guess in this situation. In that case, the entire engine will have to be disassembled and rebuilt from the cylinder heads UP.
Is there a recall on a 1996 Chevy Beretta for a bad intake gasket?
There is no recall if the car has a 3.1 L or 3.4 L this is very common. The style of intake gasket is just pron to this.I have been in this for 25 years and have seen numeress cars with the same problem. It's so common that there is a class action lawsuit for this problem, but not for this particular model. Here's the link -http://www.girardgibbs.com/dexcool.html vitaman - www.shaklee.net/easyshop

How do you replace a head gasket on a 1993 jimmy?
I would be more worried about the length of time that a head gasket has been left on your Jimmy. I take the gasket off my Jimmy right after I'm done using it. 16 years is a long time.
Your 1991 Acura Legend's engine temperature heats up at slow speeds what might be the problem?

How can oil leak from the left crank case on a 1984 Honda XL350R?
There can be more than one reason for this. One possibility is that the oil seal around the gear shifter has gone bad. Another thing that could have happened is that a large gasket has gone bad and is leaking. The crankcase housing is in three parts with two gaskets between them and these occasionally begin to leak after many years. This is not a big problem, you can get an original gasket kit for the XL350 or you can cut your own gasket from scratch from sheet gasket material that can be bought in auto service shops. In any case, you have to dismantle the crankcase.
