A ford Falcon that had blown its head gasket. It also has a bod exhaust which dumps the fumes inside the bumper. Was wondering how the car HASN'T Caught fire yet.

  • Would you morons know how to diagnose

    a head gasket problem? I have seen so

    many heads removed for no reason in my

    time in the trade! Check this - another "magic" diagnosis - a nissan 200zx turbo - missfire 1 cyl. comp test low comp number 3. Cam cover off - broken rocker number 3 inlet. Decision - bent valve! A bent valve would not be "low" compression - it would be NO compression!!! The morons pulled the head off. I asked why - they said bent valves there was not a problem!

    Ripp off!

  • @leaper1950 a bent valve can possibly cause low compression, but thats besides the problem, id be asking WHY the hell is the valve bent to begin with? being over revved like a mofo? sr20 motors are reknown for tinking valves or breaking rockers when revved to hard, but head gaskets are no so common on them

  • @deztructo123

    A bent valve will result as NO compression at cranking speed!

  • @leaper1950 right...... are you a mechanic? have you done many successful diagnosis's? a horrendously bent valve will cause no compression but generally on modern engines they snap off completely before that happens. often you get some compression but not enough to allow for ignition.

  • cast iron engine with alloy head two disimilar metals that expand at different rates...there renoun for doin cylinder heads. what a piece of shit and very bad design.

  • @stdavross666 sorta. shit metals and design in the block or head lead to head gasket failure or poor cooling system maintenance or even poor headgasket quality. but there is millions... billions of cast block engines with alloy heads on the market and its not the dissimilar metals that are the problem. the head will always expand different to the block because thats where the bulk of the heat is. another reason why warming your car up before driving it hard can be important.

  • LOOOL is someone smoking in the back??

  • YES! suck it out IMMEDIATELY! and then you will have to thoroughly flush the brake system to get the oil out. it will fuck all the rubbers in your entire system by causing them to expand and fail. rendering your master cylender, abs, and wheel cylenders all needing a rebuild. i suggest using a degreaser of some kind to flush, then metho

    then a good flush with brake fluid. but i am sure there are places on the net that will explain in better detail/

  • American Shit cars and idiots still buy those junks everyday.

  • @maxestuardo What the heck are you doing fixing up your own car? You seriously should not consider doing this as a career.... PLEASE.

  • guys, fucking seriously CHECK before pulling the head. After an alloy head comes off it has to be checked for warping/cracking and machined flat before you can put it back on. If you don't machine the head, expect weird and random overheating problems or head gaskets being changed every 6 months.

  • @TheAstro30 or failed themostat

  • @shahqwer1234 however, the most appropriate diagnosis is to not first condemn the head gasket, but look for other obvious signs. Hole in radiator/hoses, cracked radiator top or bottom tanks. Coolant leaks behind the engine/under inlet manifold where the heater core hoses go. Failed water pump (it'll be pissing out the leak hole manufactured into the pump when the seal fails). Last, but not least, pressure flash boiling (to much pressure in the system due to blocked passages).

  • @shahqwer1234 You have a problem then...a big one. Two ways you can tell a head gasket is leaking. Take radiator cap off, bring car to operating temperature so the thermostat is open and look for bubbling in the coolant/water. Second (depending on where its leaking) if the coolant is leaking into the oil, it'll turn the oil milky, sludgy whitey-brown.

  • @maxestuardo oil will completely fuck the master cylinder
