| Re: Root Cause of Head gasket Failure and a Fix? I had my heads pressure checked, didn't find any issues with them. In my case, it looked like my gasket blew between 2 cylinders. I remember while taking off the head bolts that the bolts by the cylinder that had the most coolant/water mixture was rather loose and not difficult at all to get off. All other head bolts were pretty difficult to remove. I believe in my case, the head bolt started receiving coolant, (possibly through the short block like you state in this thread), head bolt gets loose, pressure removes part of the gasket and walaa... in comes the water to my cylinder. |
