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.
A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out.In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over.n 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.     To prevent engine overheating, inspect belts and hoses whenever you purchase fuel.
