Causes of a Blown Head Gasket. After that brief overview of blown head gasket symptoms, let us have a look at the prime causes of a blown head gasket. There are more than one reasons that may cause a head gasket failure, ranging from inherent structural problems to engine problems.
The head gasket is the thin piece of gasket material that is between the engine block and the head. The head gasket fills small imperfections in the head and creates an air-tight seal between the two surfaces, note that it is a seal that is capable of enduring tremendous extremes of heat and pressure.sually, when a head gasket goes bad, it is caused by a warped head. Heads warp when the engine overheats. In an extreme case, when an engine overheats the head and/or engine block can crack. But in any case, all are caused by an overheated engine.
