A blown head gasket is a serious problem and is a fear for many drivers. But how do you discover that the head gasket has reached its end and needs to be replaced with a new one? We will clarify this in this article.

Despite the fact that the head gasket should last for the entire lifespan of the engine, the situation is a little different. The driving style in different engine modes and ignoring the malfunctions of certain components affect the lifespan of the head gasket.

A head gasket is critical in the internal combustion engine, sealing the juncture between the engine block and the cylinder head.

Its primary function is maintaining the separation of the combustion chamber, coolant, and engine oil and ensuring each operates optimally without contamination.
