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.
1 Answer from this member: To replace the head gasket, remove the 6 bolts holding the head gasket to the cylinder. With the bolts loose hit the top of the head 2-3 times with a hammer. Just enough to jar the head.This will usually cause the head to release from the gasket.hen replacing the head, start all the head bolts and tighten to a slightly tight position. Using a cross pattern tighten each head bolt to 220 inch lbs. If any air is leaking into the engine, the engine will smoke. A bad crankcase breather will cause smoke. Overfilling oil or mowing on hills causes smoke.
