Engine overheating, white smoke from the tailpipe, coolant in the oil, air bubbling from radiator with cap off engine cold and running. A compression test will verify if indeed the gasket is blown.
If you remove the head then of course you replace the head gasket.Where can you get sodium silicate to fix a blown head gasket?Know that adding sodium silicate to an engine is only a temporary fix for a blown head gasket and will not permantly fix the problem. The only permanent fix is to replace the head gasket. I would never add any head gasket fix material to any engine.
It's up there. If you have seepage at the head gasket, you need to replace it.
Unfortunately you probably need to replace the head gasket...not an easy task unless you know what your doing and have the right tools
It does not matter. If one is blown on a V6 or V8 then you need to replace them both.
hi if you replace the head gasket you will need to have the head repaired and machined as the head alloy eat's out which causes the gasket to fail
You need to remove the head cylinder and replace the gasket. You will need at least to get a good manual if you want to do it on your own.
Yes
No,I need an answer.
The head gasket.
Yes
If the vehicle does not have any bad head gasket symptoms like fluid loss or cooling system pressure build up or white smoke out the tailpipe then the head gasket does not ever need to be replaced.
You will need a new head gasket if you see engine coolant in the oil. I don't know about the thermostat.
