What Does the Head Gasket Do?

A head gasket is a thin piece that is sandwiched between the engine block and the cylinder head. This works to help seal the internal combustion process to make sure that it is kept within the engine. The head gasket also helps to keep the coolant and oil separate so that they do not mix within the engine block. Head gaskets work as a seal that helps to keep the internal combustion process sealed so that you do not have issues with leaking in your engine. The head gasket is not an expensive part but its location does make it harder to get to and does take a bit more work to replace.

Driving with a Blown Head Gasket

You can drive with a blown head gasket but it is not recommended. The leaks that are the result of a bad head gasket can cause erosion on the engine and can cause greater damage than what might already be present. A blown head gasket can cause cracking, it can cause the temperature to fluctuate within the engine and more. You do need to get the car worked on and you do have to get the head gasket replaced because it will eventually cause so much damage to the engine that the car will not be drivable.

If you have a blown head gasket you may notice that the coolant is leaking, you may notice that there is white smoke coming from the exhaust, you may notice milky white oil and more. If you are dealing with a blown head gasket it is always best to change it first before more damage is done.
