Signs Your Gasket Needs Replacement
A failing head gasket can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed. Common symptoms include:
- Loss of Power: Reduced compression in one or more cylinders.
- Overheating: Combustion gases leaking into the cooling system.
- Contaminated Plugs: Water or a "slimy" buildup appearing on the spark plugs.
- White Smoke: Coolant entering the combustion chamber and being burned.
Pro-Tip: When installing, always follow the specific torque sequence and specifications found in your engine's service manual to ensure an even seal and prevent warping the cylinder head.
