Description

Your coolant is a sealed system, which means that what you put in your system should stay there. And while the levels can fluctuate slightly due to differences in temperature and pressure, they should stay the same for the most part. If you're looking to complete DIY work on your garage or home, it's always important to wear the correct workshop clothing to protect yourself from harm. From workshop gloves to boots, we have what you need to stay safe. Before starting your test, remember, radiator caps are pressurized, and when these caps are removed when the radiator is hot, hot coolant may shoot out and burn you. Make sure your vehicle is well-cooled off before performing your test.

Since cylinders are tested on an individual basis one may need to test all cylinders before the failed one is discovered. Examples Chemical Test: uses a plug and siphon device to seal off the radiator cap port so that any leaking combustion gases into the cooling system can be suctioned into the device and detected by a chemical reaction which changes the color of a special solution. A bulb aspirator is typically used to draw in air from the coolant system to mix with the solution and exploits the fact that the concentration of CO2 in such air from a leaking head gasket is going to be significantly higher than the 0.04% found in the atmosphere. A control test with exhaled breath is used to determine the solution is still good as demonstrated in this video, since a reaction/color change is expected under the concentration of CO2 in exhaled breath which is 4% or 100X more concentrated than atmospheric CO2. The concentration of CO2 out a car's exhaust can be as much as 16%. But how do you know if you have a blown head gasket or if the problem is related to something else? We’ll walk you through everything you need to know to test for a blown head gasket in this comprehensive guide. What Does A Head Gasket Do? Gas Analyzer: used to measure hydrocarbons, i.e. uncombusted fuel. Demonstration by ScannerDanner using the fga-4000-xds Most car owners will end with this test once they see that their filler cap has that gooey liquid. However, those who don’t detect this shouldn’t stop there. This test is not always reliable when detecting a head gasket. So it’s best to move on to other tests until you’ve exhausted all options. 2. The Spark Plug TestWhile most people are aware that a blown head gasket can send fluids to other parts of your engine, it’s less well-known that blown head gaskets can lead to external leaks. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. Leaks are a manifestation of a bad gasket. These leaks are commonly seen in your spark plugs so it only makes sense for you to remove the spark plugs for inspection. First, as the temperature drops outside, you can expect more exhaust than during warmer weather. This is entirely normal and doesn’t indicate a blown head gasket.

It's possible to drive for short distances, but it should be avoided if at all possible to prevent more severe damage to your car. Can you fix a blown head gasket without replacing it? Just connect it and let it be pressurized for 10 minutes. The pressure should be stable, as the coolant system should be sealed. If the pressure is dropping, it is mostly leaking into the oil or the cylinders.

Don't miss out!

Smell from exhaust – a sweet smell from your exhaust, or water dripping out, can be a sign of leaks. Head gaskets are more likely to blow if they’re poor quality or haven’t been installed correctly – a seal shouldn’t be too tight or too loose as both can result in problems. Can you drive with a blown head gasket? So, if you find that you have to keep adding coolant to the system even though there’s no visible leak, there’s a good chance that your coolant is heading somewhere it shouldn’t inside your engine. If you have excessive smoke, it’s getting into the combustion chamber, and if you have a milky-colored oil it’s getting into the oil channels. Now that you have a better idea on how a blown head gasket manifests itself, it’s time to put it to the test.
