Head Gasket Replacement Service in Kansas City, MO

A blown head gasket is a major problem that should be taken care of immediately. Your car will still run that way, but it could cause irreversible damage to your engine. Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City is your source for getting head gasket replacement, or any other automotive service in Kansas City, MO., also serving Lee's Summit and Overland Park. A head gasket is a fairly simple gasket that is not very expensive, but it is not something most people are equipped to handle on their own. The head gasket lies between the engine block and the cylinder heads. You have to take the engine apart, and remove a lot of other things just to get to where it is. It is sort of like open-heart surgery on your car. The Head gasket keeps the oil and coolant separated as both flows through your engine to keep it cooled and lubricated.

    Symptoms Of A Worn Out Head Gasket

    A head gasket is not likely to blow out suddenly. It normally wears out slowly and because of that you may not notice it until it is to the point of being a problem. It is also not something that is normally replaced as a maintenance item. Some cars will never need this done. One symptom is overheating, and if there are no other issues that could be the problem. If that is the case look for other symptoms like milky looking oil, water or coolant dripping from the tailpipe, white smoke coming out the exhaust, and lower engine performance. Using a lot more gas than usual, or using more coolant with no leaks are also tell-tale signs. Any of those symptoms could be something else, but if you have several of them, that is a good indicator.
