The main function of a head gasket is to hold engine compression while keeping oil and coolant circulation separate. Undetected blown head gaskets cause coolant and oil mixing, which could lead to severe engine damage, such as engine block cracking.
For example, a warped or cracked cylinder head will produce the exact symptom of a blown head gasket. An external inspection will only determine the problem is head gasket related. This may mean a blown gasket, warped or cracked cylinder head or other problems in the area.ngine misfire caused by a head gasket.

Lowered compression results in a rough idling engine.
