A blown head gasket can demonstrate itself in many ways;

* 2 or more cylinders can completely fail and not fire at all

* 2 or more cylinders can run but run poorly. * exhaust gas can leak into the water jacket causing the engine to push out the coolant. When this happens the engine may just appear to be overheating for no apparent reason.

* exhaust gas can leak into the oil journal causing a serious lubrication problem * coolant can leak INTO a cylinder when the engine is turned off, resulting in a hydraulic lock next time you try to start the engine. Feel free to add any other strange and intriguing symptoms of a blown head gasket.

What is the difference between a cracked block and a blown head gasket?

A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.
