The first symptoms of a head gasket that is failing are usually a slow loss of coolant with no visible leaks, engine overheating and/or a Check Engine light with cylinder misfire codes. The Onboard Diagnostic II (OBD II) system should detect any misfires that occur due to a loss of compression or spark plugs fouled by coolant seeping into a combustion chamber. So if you find a cylinder misfire code, check the spark plug for coolant fouling, and do a compression or leak- down test on the cylinder to find out what’s going on. Internal coolant leaks caused by a leaky head gasket can usually be diagnosed by pressure testing the cooling system. Depending on the application and how much labor it requires, installing a new head gasket can easily cost up to $1,5. And if coolant has diluted the oil and damaged the bearings inside the engine, your customer could be looking at a considerably higher repair bill. What Happened? Many motorists are puzzled by head gasket failures because they don’t understand the causes. Regular maintenance and oil changes can’t prevent a high- mileage head gasket from failing, but it can increase the odds of detecting other problems that may lead to premature head gasket failure. If the engine gets too hot, the cylinder head can swell to the point where it crushes the head gasket (usually between the cylinders because this is the thinnest point). The extruded material and/or cracked combustion armor then provides a leak path for coolant and/or combustion gases. A low coolant level, a dirty cooling system, a cooling fan that isn’t working correctly, or overloading or overworking the vehicle can all be contributing factors. This may cause the engine to overheat at low vehicle speeds, resulting in head gasket damage if the engine gets really hot. Replacing the head gasket will fix the coolant leak, but it’s important to make sure the cooling fan is working correctly and comes on when needed so the engine does not overheat again. The fan resistor is located under the front engine splashguard, just below the fan motor. A new resistor (P/N 3. In some cases, an exhaust restriction (clogged converter) also can make an engine run hot. How can you tell if overheating caused the head gasket to fail? A head gasket that failed because of overheating or a hot spot will be crushed and measurably thinner in the damaged area when checked with a micrometer. By comparison, a gasket that has failed due to detonation or pre- ignition will usually have cracked armor around the combustion chamber, which leads to burn- through. Detonation causes a sharp spike in combustion chamber pressure, which, over time, can overload and crack the gasket armor that surrounds the cylinder. This leads to burn- through and loss of compression. One is an accumulation of carbon in the combustion chamber that increases compression. Many late- model import engines run fairly high compression ratios, and some require premium octane fuel. If compression reaches a point where the fuel ignites spontaneously before the spark can set it off, the engine will knock and ping under load. If there aren’t enough octane- boosting additives in the fuel, the engine may experience mild to severe detonation. Over- advanced ignition timing can also cause detonation, as can an overly lean air/fuel mixture. Any problems in the cooling system that make the engine run hotter than normal will also increase the chance that detonation may occur. Pre- ignition occurs when a surface inside the combustion chamber gets so hot that it becomes a source of ignition instead of spark. The hot spot might be the exhaust valve, spark plug or a sharp edge in the combustion chamber. If pre- ignition occurs, it will ignite the air/fuel mixture before the spark plug fires, causing combustion pressure to peak too early on the compression stroke. This, in turn, can cause detonation that may damage the head gasket. Vehicle manufacturers subject their engines to extensive durability testing, but sometimes a weak head gasket design isn’t discovered until an engine has been in service for a number of years. If the head gasket fails while the engine is still under warranty, it becomes a warranty expense for the vehicle manufacturer. But, in most cases, head gaskets don’t fail until the engine is out of warranty and has a lot of miles on it. In 1. 99. 6, Subaru used a composite head gasket on these engines, and then changed to a stronger multi- layer steel (MLS) gasket with a graphite overlay in 1. Even so, some of these head gaskets develop leaks that allow coolant and oil to mix. Symptoms include engine overheating due to loss of coolant, and an oily residue in the coolant overflow bottle. The fix is to replace the head gasket. The problem occurs on the left side of the engine and is usually an external oil and/or coolant leak. The cause may be battery corrosion (the battery is located above the left side of the engine) that attacks the outer edge of the head gasket. TTY head bolts stretch when tightened and should not be reused because they may break or fail to maintain torque. The 1. 98. 8- ’9. Toyota 3. VZE 3. 0. L V6 light truck engine, and 1. Toyota 5. VZFE 3. L V6 in T1. 00s, Tacomas and 4. Runners are all examples of engines with hard- to- seal heads and frequent head gasket failures. The cracking occurs as a result of metal fatigue caused by the head scrubbing back and forth on the block because the engine has aluminum heads and a cast- iron block. Aluminum expands at a much higher rate than cast iron, which causes the head surface to move more than the block surface. If the head gasket can’t accommodate the movement, or lacks any built- in lubricity (such as a non- stick coating), thermal expansion and contraction can literally tear the head gasket apart as the miles accumulate. The fix is to replace the OEM head gasket with an improved and redesigned aftermarket head gasket that has stronger combustion armor, better materials and an anti- friction coating that can handle the movement. Installing a redesigned aftermarket gasket with improved combustion armor and an anti- stick coating should provide a long- lasting fix. The MLS head gaskets are made of several layers of embossed stainless steel and are much stronger than the OEM gaskets that were originally used. Do not use an abrasive pad in a drill to whiz off or clean the head or block surfaces because doing so may also remove metal and create shallow depressions that can prevent a new head gasket from sealing. If flatness is not within specifications, the head or block will have to be resurfaced. For engines with aluminum heads, flatness should be 0. MLS head gaskets typically require a much smoother finish (2. If so, use the type of sealer specified by the manufacturer and follow the application instructions to the letter. If the original head gasket is multi- layer steel, the engine usually has TTY head bolts. If new bolts are not included with the replacement head gasket, don’t be tempted to reuse the old bolts. Then clean all of the bolt threads and lightly oil them with engine oil before installation. Dirt, thread damage and lack of lubrication can cause false torque readings when the bolts are tightened. A bolt that bottoms out will apply little or no clamping force on the head, which may allow the gasket to leak. To compensate for resurfacing, you may have to install hardened steel washers under the bolts to raise them up, or use a copper head gasket shim to restore proper head height. Mistakes here can lead to uneven loading that results in a poor seal and leaks. Also, make sure any bleed valves are open while refilling the system so you don’t end up with air pockets that may cause the engine to overheat. You may have to start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature, then shut it off, allow it to cool and recheck the coolant level to make sure there are no air pockets. Make sure the cooling system is functioning normally and holds pressure. Make sure the engine doesn’t knock or ping under load. And make sure the vehicle owner is using the correct grade of gasoline (premium if required).
