Head Gaskets

Head Gaskets are a component that sits between and seals the main engine block to the cylinder head in your engine. This seal is critical and maintains a consistent operating pressure in the engine.

On occasions a head gasket may fail to maintain this pressure and as a result will leak. In an extreme instance the gasket may actually crack, break or blow. The aforementioned damage will result in decreased engine pressure and a loss of power. Exhaust fumes could leak to the coolant system, causing an increased rate of engine wear and overheating. If leaks continue to occur before repair, the exhaust may start to steam and your catalytic converter may be damaged.

If you are suffering a loss of power in your vehicle along with engine overheating, decreasing levels of engine coolant / engine oil or are experiencing excessive exhaust smoke and steam please contact us today where we can inspect and repair head gaskets before major engine damage may occur.
