If it blows in the right place. The exhaust is getting into the water passage which will cause the car to overheat. Probably in just a few minutes. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off, make sure it is full. start the car. If the head gasket is blown, water will shoot out the cap for a foot or two.

Why would an engine run clean when first started then white smoke progressively get worse?
If you are loosing coolant, you have a leaking head gasket. If you are loosing oil and have a turbo, the seal on the turbo is bad. either intake manifold gasket or head gasket is leaking
What may be the problem is antifreeze is leaking in the engine compartment up by the fire wall in the middle of the motor but not in the vehicle and it is not coming from heater hoses?
if it appears to be coming from where the cylinder head meets the engine block, it is the head gasket. if it appears near the intake manifold and head, it is the intake gasket (or intake AND exhaust gasket on a straight six or Chrysler slant six). if it is coming from the engine block it is a freeze plug. some v-6 and v-8 engines are common for springing coolant leaks at the intake gaskets.
I took my 99 Tahoe to a mechanic because I had to add dexcool twice in 2 months There is no coolant in my oil He said I had to replace my intake manifold gasket Could it be the water pump?
There is coolant on the ground occasionally. How will I know when the intake manifold gasket is leaking
How do you put the carburetor back on a 1972 dodge dart swinger?
put new gasket on the intake manifold and bolt carb down to intake manifold and hook up all linkages and hoses.
Is it a good idea to use oil stop leak additive to stop oil leak from intake manifold gasket?
I wouldn't recommend it. Replace the gasket.
What is a intake gasket?
The intake gasket is the gasket that conncects from your air filter into your intake manifold
How do you change intake manifold gasket on 2001 stype Jaguar?
jaguar 2001 Lower Engine Intake Manifold Gasket
Where is the upper manifold gasket located on a 2000 Chevy s10?
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, the upper intake manifold gasket would be between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold.
How do you change the intake manifold gasket on a 1998 park avenue?
What engine? and ensure it is a bad gasket, not an intake plentum.
How do you identify intake gasket problem?
Simple method... get some carb cleaner or starting fluid. With the engine running, spray the area where the intake manifold gasket is. If you experience sudden bursts of increased RPMs, you have an intake manifold gasket issue.
Do you have to replace the intake gasket when removing intake manifold?
Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
The intake gasket have anything to do with the car overhearing?
ya, especially if you are leaking antifreeze internally or externally. if intake manifold gasket leaks usually have vacuum problem result in "rough engine idle" look for external antifreeze leak at manifold gasket first. then check oil for "milky color" - if antifreeze runs low due to leak = Yes - engine overheat. Dont drive it - you can do a lot more damage if you do.
What is a manifold gasket?
An intake manifold gasket is a malleable material that is set between the air intake manifold, the cylinder heads and the block in a gasoline powered internal combustion engine. Intake manifold gaskets prevent leakage of air or the air-fuel mixture by sealing the gap between these various metal engine parts.
What is the definition of an intake gasket?
It is the sealing part that seals the intake manifold to the cylinder heads and to the top of the engine block. The intake manifold is the part that distributes the air to the cylinders. It also can house the thermostat, the injectors, the throttle plate. An intake gasket could leak coolant, engine oil, or engine vaccuum.
Where is the intake manifold gasket?
Between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
Where is the intake manifold gasket located?
between the head and intake manifold
What happens if you do not change a bad intake manifold gasket on a 2000 ford explorer?
If it is an internal leak the coolant will end up in the crank case mixed with your oil and it will ruin the bearing/engine - if external leak then the engine will overheat when it runs low on coolant, and blow your head gasket
