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.
Overheating: Allowing your coolant level to run low can cause damage to your head gasket. When coolant isnât available to pull engine heat from your block and heads, the extra heat can cause expansion on your head gasket, which often results in a blown head gasket.
