Too high a temperature
it is possible for heat from combustion to cause an engine to overheat quickly depending on where the gasket is blown, but i would look for a lack of coolant circulation first. if your coolant is not getting out of the motor and into the radiator it will overheat very quickly.
It will not cause the engine to overheat. You have another problem.
A stuck or incorrectly installed thermostat.
The radiator cooling fan is most likely not working.
Yes it could.
A lot of things could be causing that. First did you check your coolant?
No.
Bad thermostat
no the higher milage or higher rpms can cause the head bolts to stretch which would cause it to blow
If you have had an extreme overheat in the past. This would most likely cause the censor to melt. Overheat to the point of the steering wheel locking up and the light coming on.
Hey Craig==The most common cause is the cooling fans are not operating correctly. Check them out. GoodluckJoe
