Decatur is a small city located in northeastern Georgia, just 5 miles northeast of Atlanta. The city was founded in 1823 at the intersection of two Native American trails and named after US naval hero Stephen Decatur.
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.
The main cause of blown head gaskets is the overheating of an engine. This can cause a great deal of damage not just to the head gasket but the cylinder head itself can crack, warp or swell. The pistons can swell in the cylinder and seize, valve components can seize as can bearings.he main cause of blown head gaskets is the overheating of an engine.
