How does blown head gasket happen?
The most common cause of a blown head gasket is an over heating engine. Low coolant or coolant not circulating through the engine causes the engine to heat up and the gasket to fail.
Where is the coolant fill cap on a Lincoln 2002 ls?
On a 2002 Lincoln LS : The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment , next to the firewall . According to a drawing I was looking at there is some kind of trim piece over the top of it , but the trim piece has a hole in it to gain access to the engine coolant reservoir cap
What causes white smoke in Gas Engines?
Usually this is steam caused by boiling your coolant. Depending on where its coming from this can mean 2 different things. Is it coming from your engine compartment? If so then your coolant boiled over or you blew a radiator hose. Is it coming from the exhaust? If so then you most likely have a blown head gasket or cracked head, so your coolant is leaking into the cylinder and its getting burned/boiled there. Hope this helps.
What signs are there for a blown valve gasket?
Valves have seals instead of gaskets and if one was bad you would have oil on the spark plug for that cylinder if you were to take it out and inspect it. A bad valve cover gasket would leak oil on the outside of the engine. a bad head gasket would put oil and/or pressure into the coolant system, coolant into the combustion chamber causing white smoke, or coolant into the oil. signs of a blown head gasket can be:- coolant leaking outside of engine from head/block area,coolant in engine oil, oil in radiator,over heating of engine.loss of pwer.loss of coolant from coolant resevoir, smell of coolant while driving, and not being able to tell where it is coming from
Can water pump out cause white smoke?
no, that is usually an engine oil problem. White smoke is usually the result of burning engine coolant. Blue smoke is from burning engine oil and black smoke is excess fuel (flooding). So, burning engine coolant is usually the result of a blown head gasket and/or a cracked head. A blown head gasket and /or a cracked head can be the result of a severely over heated engine. An over heated engine could be the result of a faulty water pump. So, the answer to your question could be yes.
1999 silverado overheating coolant in oil is this most likely blown head gasket or cracked head?
Neither 1, It is a common problem with that engine for the intake gasket to leak engine coolant into the engine lifter gallery / into engine oil. Replace intake manifold gasket and change oil and FILTER a couple of times. A head gasket or cracked head will not allow engine coolant to get into the oil. If you got or over HEATED the engine like real hot then you may have blown are cracked a head but I doute it. Not common, Replace intake gasket and you'll see that the engine will be okay more then likely.
What is wrong if everything electrical starts to short out while driving and the engine is overheated?
or some other leak in the cooling system has sprayed coolant all over the engine compartment causing multiple short circuits.
If you check oil and coolant often for levels and mixing is it inadvisable to run 95 Cavalier with blown head gasket?
Absolutely not. Once the head gasket is blown, you must not run this engine until the engine is repaired. Coolant in the oil will destroy this engine in short order. Coolant in the crankcase or cylinder is also not a good thing to have because it dilutes the oil and accelerates wear. If enough coolant leaks into a cylinder, it may even "hydrolock" the engine preventing it from turning over when you attempt to start it. And in some cases you can do serious engine damage like a bent rod, by even trying to start a hydrolocked engine. You may also have a cracked head at this time. Until you can fix this engine, drain all the oil and coolant out and park it. DO NOT START THIS ENGINE.
What does coolant spraying all over engine mean?
You have a coolant leak.You have a coolant leak.
What is wrong when the gauge indicates engine coolant temperature over the normal rage?
It means the engine is overheating. Possible causes are, thermostat stuck in closed position, low of coolant, cooling fan not functioning, blown head gasket, clogged radiator inside or outside, or water pump not functioning properly.
Why does turning on the heater cool down an overheating engine?
Turning on the heater allows the hot water and coolant to enter the heater core.The heater core is really just another radiator designed to extract the heat in the coolant and pass it on into the air surrounding it,in this situation the driving compartment,thus dropping the temperature of the coolant,thus cooling the over heating engine.
What is difference between refrigerator air cooler and how?
A refrigerator has a freezer and a cooler compartment. Very cold air from the freezer compartment is blown over the cooler compartment below to cool the product while a Cooler has no freezer compartment.
