Description
5 Symptoms of a Cracked Cylinder Head
1. A cylinder head is the “top end” of the engine. It mates to the
engine block to seal off the combustion chamber, which is where the
engine burns fuel to make power.
Cylinder heads also house the valves that direct airflow. Intake
valves draw in fresh air, combustion occurs, then exhaust valves
allow the burnt air fuel mixture to exit the combustion chamber. An
internal combustion engine is basically just a fancy air pump.
Under extreme conditions, a cylinder head can actually crack. A
cracked cylinder head may yield similar symptoms to a blown head
gasket or a cracked block, but is more expensive to fix than a
blown head gasket. The solution is usually to buy a new cylinder
head.
1. Air in the Cooling System
infrared engine temperature
Air in the cooling system may allow hot spots to form, where one
part of the engine is much hotter than the portion measured by the
temperature sensor. This happens because air cannot transfer heat
as effectively as a liquid can.
If air is trapped in one spot away from the coolant temperature
sensor, the temperature sensor may not pick up the hot spot. You
may not know your car is running hot until damage is already done.
Additionally, an air leak in the cooling system may reduce the
pressure in the cooling system. Liquid coolant is more likely to
boil at a lower pressure.
Question: how much does it cost to replace a cylinder head gasket?
Answer: the amount depends on your locality and type of car or
engine. Head gasket replacement cost can go up to $1000. While the
price of the gasket may not be that high, it takes a lot of time to
replace. You are dismantling almost half of the engine, which makes
the process labor-intensive. Head gasket repair costs even more.
