It is most likely a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Chemical sealers generally do not work. Your best bet is to replace the head gasket and inspect the head for damage.
Silicone sealer, or gasket maker, even if you have a cork gasket use sealer. I recommend Ultra Black or Ultra Blue. Priscilla =^.^=
A new head gasket.
NO. You MUST replace the intake gasket.
NO you do not. That is what the o-ring is for. If you use sealer it will wind up in the oil and that is Not good.
No, far too much pressure and heat is built up in the cylinders. If a head gasket has failed it often means that the head has become warped perhaps from overheating.
No, nothing will fix a blown head gasket except replacing it. Sealer are only used in an emergency situation as a temporary fix.
As far as I know, it should have a gasket. Make sure to use gasket sealer as well when replacing it.
TAke off valve cover then strip off old gasket.. clean entire serface with alcohol or gas or gasket remover. Then buy a new gasket from a local auto shop, along with some gasket sealer... Put on new gasket as old one was taken off. Use gasket sealer on top and bottom or gasket. Just a thin coat. THen place the cover back on with gasket in place and tighten bolts. Let sit for about 24 hours before starting to let the gasket sealer dry.. Should work better then ever.
no, but you can replace the gasket entirely add the sealant ensuring a leak free fit.
The longevity of gasket sealer can vary depending on the type of sealer used, the application conditions, and the environment it is exposed to. Generally, high-quality gasket sealers can last from a few months to several years. Factors like temperature fluctuations, pressure, and exposure to chemicals can impact the seal's durability. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations on longevity.
no a thin film of grease can be applied but do whatever the gasket mfg. says. Depends on the gasket and engine manufacturer. Follow what it says in the service information.
Not likely.... I'd never use anything "temporary" on a head gasket.
