Sounds like you blew your head gasket Sounds like you blew your head gasket
The head will need to be inspected at a machine shop. They can tell you if it is warped or cracked.
How big is the gasket you are using. "I blew a head gasket on my Mustang, so I have to pull the heads and replace it/them."
Well when My Dodge blew a head gasket there was LOTS of stream from the tail pipe. (looked like an old steam locomotive) If you suspect you have a blown head gasket take it to a professional (like the DEALER) and have them look it over. Hope This Helps.
My husband has the same truck and it only has 90,000 miles on it and he blew a head gasket yesterday. Do you have any suggestions?
Because you blew the head gasket
Along with the head gasket you often get warping of the head. Coolant will get mixed with the oil causing engine bearing and ring damage if the car was driven after the head gasket blew. If you continue to drive the car you will eventually ruin the engine.
It depends on the engine, where and how bad the gasket failure is, etc. If you run an engine with a blown head gasket that has allowed anti-freeze to contaminate the oil, you'll probably wipe out the motor.
If the vehicle smokes either the gasket was installed improperly or then heads were not checked before being reinstalled and one of them was warped if the vehicle overheated when the head gasket blew then most likely its a warped head. Devan
Check your exhaust while running, smells sweet and blueish smoke. Overheating, loss of coolant. Do a compression check.
Neither. Have a new head gasket installed. That is assuming you did not completely ruin the engine by continuing to drive it after the head gasket blew. If you did indeed ruin this engine, then the decision should be based on what the car is worth in the first place.
If it has been mended it should work but there may be an airlock in it that needs attention if it is not working.
