Perhaps cracked block?
There are many factors to be considered in this - what caused the original gasket to fail? Was there head warpage? Overheating? has the head gone "porous"? Was the head skimmed (if needed) or was a thicker replacement gasket used? More info required.
Just like you would repair car engine was a blown head gasket. Take it apart and replaced the head gasket. Make sure and have the head checked for cracks and warpage.
Remove the cylinder head and replace the gasket. -Possibly even have the head skimmed.
The exhaust manifold needs to have a gasket in place to help seal the juncture between the manifold and the engine. After the gasket and gasket sealer are in place, tighten the bolts for the exhaust manifold. The exhaust pipe can then be replaced on the new exhaust manifold.
The intake manifold and exhaust manifold must be removed. Then the head must be removed and the gasket replaced. The head must be checked for cracks and to see if it is warped. Then it is all put back together.
If you needed a gasket and they replaced it then yes you would be charged for the gasket.
You can change the head gasket by removing the valve cover. Remove the gasket and clean the gasket surface. Put the new head gasket on the cleaned surface.
There might be a leak in the water pump, or in the radiator. Maybe even check the radiator hoses for cracks and leaks.
The intake & exhaust manifold must be removed, then the head is remove. Head inspected for cracks and warpage, all gaskets replaced and all parts reinstalled.
could someone give me a rough idea on how much it will cost to replace a head gasket on a renault grand espace 2.2 dci, thats cost and fitting? thanks
A compression test will verify if the head gasket if blown or not, the majority of the time.
