What is ment by blown head gasket?
It means that the head gasket (which is the seal between the engine block and the head(s)) has failed. This often happens as the result of a rough running engine putting a lot of stress on the gasket, or simply from old age. This failure tends to present itself as a sudden and occasionally violent breaking of the afore mentioned seal thus giving it the term "blown".

How do you know if head gasket is blown?
There are some clues. First and most obvious is that you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak. Other clues are a sweet smell from the exhaust, coolant in the oil, and the oil level above full. An engine miss or running rough with a loss of power. A foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Air bubbles escaping from the radiator, and of course last but not least the engine is overheating. A blown head gasket can destroy and engine in short order. Have this looked at immediately.
