This is why you do not continue driving down the road if your temp gauge starts climbing. Pull over immediately! Tou will blow a head gasket if you don't!
The last picture makes it clear for me what is wrong with my Cosworth 24v. I only guessed until now. Thanks for making this video!
I have watched over 50 different videos and it wasn't until I saw this particular one that help me solve my issue. Thank you
I completely agree thanks to this man it may save many people lots of money
You counted?
bro SAMEEEEEEEEE 2023
How did you solve it?
I'm having this exact issue, oil n water aren't mixing but mechanic says I need a head n block when this is exactly what's going on with me, the overflow bottle just bubbles over when car gets hot cuz the engine burns out the coolant/ water very fast.....so no head n block just a head gasket needed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank u
I have a 94 LT1 that was acting up and I was told it was a head gasket….it really was a failing water pump. HG was just fine! Take your car to a trusted mechanic so you are treated fairly. Good video.
I got new head gasket and water pump. Same thing...
@Jimmyx68 I've replaced the pump thermostat etc new v belt hg was done just over a year ago head skimmed oressure tested I think I've a blocked rad ..lower hose is always cold amd lower section of rad .
Great pic at the end explaining why there are SOOO many symptoms.
Best video and best explanation on this that I have ever seen. Well done.
I love how everyone ragging on how this is a "Chrysler", granted the 2.7 engines are crap and the transmissions. But that engine is Mitsubishi made, a blown head gasket can happen to any engine depending on the circumstances
Mitsubishi engines are known for blowing white smoke. Look up Montero Sports and eclipses. Junk.
@@lotus956 not even close to being junk. No one wants to take care of them because they're lesser known.
Chryslers are still junk lol
Simple explanation. Thank you
Thanks for the vid! That chart at the end is really helpful.
Very good video and picture explaining different points of leaks,good job thanks
thank you! You're the only person who shows that in youtube,i don't find any video like yours!!
THX!! Big Bravo!!!!!!
Oliver R. Because most people don't like antifreeze all over the ground...
Good info just what I was looking for plain and simple truth best out there .. thank you very much Mr.mechanik
Thank you for knowledge keep it running
explanation,symptoms and how to check... good video
Thank you for taking the time to post this presentation. I really appreciate it, thank you. Never mind the big mouths and bad attitudes.
Listen to the big mouth that tells you to never put water in a hot engine like this guy done, make sure the engine is running. I knew this when I was 12 lol
Great video. The diagram at the end was very useful too
I’m glad you know how this stuff works man good video appreciate the shared knowledge hopefully my Subaru doesn’t have a bad head😰😰😰
I came cause of my 2011 Outback. Do you have coolant filling up your reservoir and overflowing?
Glad to help
@@mannytheperson yes bro! Same. Did you ever find the culprit?
@@cpcy007 head gaskets😂 actually cracked heads!
You got a Subaru 🤦♂️
AH HA!... that explains why I didn't see coolant in my oil. There are two sides where the hole could be in blown head gasket. Thank you. I think you just helped me identify that I DO have a blown head gasket after-all. I've been told repeatedly i don't have one because there is no water/coolant in the oil... nor do I have any white smoke or water coming out of the tail pipe.. yet I keep losing a little bit of water... and it has boiled out like that. I've replaced radiator, clutch fan and other things to help keep the vehicle cool.. yet.. problem persisted. Awesome.
Nicholas Maietta ....I have the same issue. coolant is lost n bubbles come out of radiator. but oil is clean.
j
What the fuck does "j" stand for?
god is a Sciopath cheezy lol
+Nicholas Maietta - How did you solve it??? My Dad have an S10 Truck and when I install an Oil Catch Can, instead of Catching Oil, it caught Coolant instead. Every 400 Miles, we get about 2 Ounces, which is a lot of Blow-by :((((. I'm trying to solve it, do you have any tips or what have you done to solve yours??? THANKS !!!
Omg thank you man I been trying to figure out wtf is wrong with my car and u just answered my question thank you
Was it overheating fast or slow?
Did you fix
@@hellefide2013y
I could tell you from firsthand experience I changed a head gasket for a Honda Accord years ago. They are such a pain to get to depending on the year the vehicle they’re not even worth fixing.
very good explanation .thanks for sharing knowledge .I hope to see more vids
real helpfull.. every vid i watch says my head gasket is blown in some way. but I don't get those bubbles.. which just means I have a leak somewhere that's making it not keep pressure. your vid is more helpful then you know. thanks =)
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make this.. perfect explanation.
Yep, foaming of coolant, coolant in oil, oil in coolant & lift your oil cap & see if it's milky looking on the inside of Cap.
Luckily I've never had a blown head gasket or cracked head.
I drive an old but still beautiful 02' Blazer ZR2 4.3 Vortec & its a strong engine. I would like to buy an old 1980's Buick or Olds.
I love those old cars, they just float
Very useful video, this happens to all makes and models.
Dude!!!! Good luck with that.
I had exactly same problem with your with my mazda 626. My water pump had died. I replaced it, it is perfect now.
Was your car overheating? I think I have the same issue
Thanks. Great video!
Nice job Sir so that shows a little thing can cause a great big problem for the engine
Why tf did it take a drunk me and this man’s nice accent to finally understand a closed coolant system
Right!!!
It could also be a bad intake manifold gasket letting air get in. This will also likely cause some coolant to mix into the oil making it overheat very quickly
At first my car wasn't getting hot and it was losing antifreeze two weeks later it has a slight moisture on the intake area it's still leaking a little antifreeze but not all the time and it's hot now. Does anybody know what's going on with this? It's a water pump? Is this a thermostat?
This does not mean anything, Toyota 4.0 V6 has a big water pump and that water is being pushed around in the system like crazy. as soon as I start my Land Cruiser it makes same and shoot water outside. No compresion lost and engine is runing great.Ok in this video is obvious that there is a problem, but the water coming out without bubbles is nothing to worry about when temp is start raising.
@@The_Touring_Jedi water do come out as it is pressurized when car reaches optimal temp that's what the rad cap is for but water boiling and reservoir full to the brim like in the video is a sign to replace head. machining is only good as long as the warpage on the head does not go beyond the service limit provided by the manufacturer's manual. looking for other causes has no practical relevance at this point.
@@darealblair3262 i have the same problem. Did you sort your out assuming it's 2 years
@@FiveBros1 nobody answered him, you think it's gonna answer you? 🤣
Fascinating video thanks! ❤️
Great video THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!
Any time, subscribe.
so true that's exactly what happened to me
I know lot of people suggest this method to identify a blown head gasket. But I don't know how accurate this is. Modern engines use presurized coolant systems that operate typically above 15psi. This pressure is achieved by the expansion of coolant and when the radiator cap is open, flow of water pump wouldn't be able to keep up with expanding coolant so it would tend to overflow. And again since the desired pressure cannot be achieved the coolant would start to boil and create large amount of water bubbles. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes saw leak down pressure test is more precise, for the reasons you stated.
You are 100% correct. Opening the cap doesn’t hold in the pressure of the liquid causing it to boil out any water present in the coolant.
bring any modern car in, open the rad and turn the engine on. wait for a couple minutes then compare. you will have your answer.
Like subaru
@@automachinehead
Or open the cap when the engines hot and you'll definitely have your answer
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!
I know this video is 4yrs old but I hope someone will see my comment. I have been having the same issues on my PT Cruiser. Not one radiator shop will listen to what I have to say they ALWAYS state because its a pt cruiser it is the head gasket. My car has passed 2 compression tests, 2 pressure tests, the old radiator had a 6in crack so I bought another radiator and replaced it I also bought and replaced, the thermostat is new, the thermostat housing is new, radiator hoses are new the fan unit is new, the reservoir is new also the temp sensor gauge is new. There is no milky stuff in my oil, the car does not smoke. The car does not run rough, and IT NEVER OVER HEATS. The temp gauge stays at half or below. There are NO COOLANT LEAKS. But yet, after driving it and then turning it off you can hear the bubbles. I have been burping the system for months due to the old radiator having a crack. Sometimes the reservoir is half full sometimes after days of driving it will fill. 😞
So what is the issue? I do not believe it is my head gasket. It has passed too many tests that has proven no head gasket issues.
WHAT AM I MISSING?
Clogged heater core is one mechanics sometimes miss. Your comment is old though. Is that what happened?
Is a pt cruiser lmao
Turn on your heater, full blast and run it honestly sometimes you have air pockets in your system especially after changing your radiator I did that and it fixed my problem
I love this useful information
Thank you great video well explained.
best explanation ever.......Thank you!!!
Thanks for the info about the water pump and how it is supposed to work
Does it happen everytime you have compression leaking into coolant?
All right now that we explained a cracked head gasket, let's spray some cold water on there and show him what a cracked block looks like
Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking 😂
Jason Butko 🖒😂
Jason Butko ahahahaha
Lmao
Dummy you act like the water is ice cold
Amazing how nice you are that you put the cap on Teaching this person that doesn’t seem to be very helpful! Lucky her or she Having you teach them
Thank you sir, great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Never never never put cold water in hot engine wrong
This amount of cold water is nothing relative to total water in system
Putting cold water in a hot engine will blow head gasket. never add water unless engine is running
@Donalld Allhands Yes it does. Car should be running!
How you know he didn't let the engine cool down?
@Donalld Allhands Wasn't talking to you.
WOW THIS ALL MAKES SENSE. Can a head gasket blown cause exhaust fumes to get inside the cabin of the car. When my head gasket was blown I was always getting HOT AIR that smelled like gas in the cabin, even when I head the AC vents CLOSED. Genius, erudite mechanic. Just genius.
I know this comment is two years old but that sounds like a heater core leaking.
I still would say that every time the piston moves down it sucks coolant into the cylinder, which means it will go into the oil and foul the plug, which it then would miss fire...right??? I have a good question....if you installed a new radiator, and the coolant tank for the transmissions leaks...and coolant gets into the transmission...who pays for the transmission rebuild, because the radiator it the part that failed.???
Good job Sir thanks
Thanks for video
nice simple video
Cool the engine down. Then pressure test the radiator and all combustion chambers (remove spark plugs). If you are loosing pressure at the radiator and one or more of the chambers, you have a head gasket leak. If you are loosing pressure at the radiator only but none of the chambers, and no coolant seeps into the oil, then you have either a leaky radiator or a broken water pump gasket. I highly doubt it is your radiator or water pump gasket based on what I observed in your video (revving engine and massive bubbles blow out of radiator cap area)...seems likely a blown head gasket between coolant passages and one of combustion chambers in head.
My relay was bad so I changed it out. But it still says engine over heating right after turning on car that sat for days. Have any ideas how to fix this?
Mines doing same I've changed water pump serviced engine waters been re pressurised, all air pockets pushed out but still doing it iv mentioned head gasket multiple times to garage but he seems to think its not that, cars in garage as we speak its out of my hands. I'll update when we find out solution as I still think its head gasket
I have a seme problem. its not a head gasket?
Do you believe in any off this head gasket liquids?and if you do which one the best?
This is literally what my integras coolant looks like right now. Last week it was fine now its cloudy AF and swirling and bubbling. Still if you see this its the best outcome for a blown head gasket provided it hasn't overheated and there is no oil in your coolant. If you see cloudy coolant like this stop and park the vehicle and dont drive it unless its to a mechanic to get a new head gasket.
You should be able to change your head gasket on an integra pretty easily.
@@rollthelosingdice its funny cause it wasnt actually the head gasket. i dont understand how or why but i used redline water wetter to see if it really did as claimed. it did lower coolant temp by around 8 degrees instead of the advertised 15-20 or more but had some adverse effects. it caused what looked like oily bubbles in my coolant that resembled a blown head gasket. i actually hydrocarbon tested the coolant after the above post and found nothing. i drained the coolant completely, refilled and drove for 200 miles, then drained again and it quit swirling and bubbling. i ended up finding out the head gasket was fairly new at the time of post because i pulled the head 3 weeks ago to refurbish it due to a burnt exhaust valve. there wasnt any wear on the gasket. i did however find more carbon inside the engine than i have ever seen in anything anywhere. it looked like someone had driven with 16 leaking valve stem seals for the last 50k miles.
When the gasket problem my water radioter same like your video...wht shold i do? Metal gasket or papar gasket?
Very good video
Spasibo tovarisch!
anytime!!!!!
Well my jeep for sure has a blown head gasket. Thank you. Wish I would have knew before I drove it today might not start up Tomorrow. I didn't give it time(to cool down) to try to start it. It's 13miles away sitting in some kind rich folks driveway who let me park it there overnight. Will come back and edit in whatever ends up happening.
Glad to help
Did you fix
Good way to crack the block putting cold water in with out running
Dude I literally yelled that at my screen
Maybe he had the hose hooked up to a hot water source?
“Feel it up gently”
*jet*
Putting cold water in a hot engine is a good way to crack the block.
Wow, that's crazy! He's lucky that didn't crack the block! Some people man!?
Calm down buddy he didn't add water with ice he added water that was ambient temperature, and you are clearly watching his videos because you came here to learn, so stop spreading false crap you don't know nothing about.
Good theory. But reallife is not
LOL that’s only when you wash the exterior of your engine while hot NOT by gently adding water the the radiator LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spot on...ask me how I know!
That looks like a Water Boiler , good for making Coffee or Soup .
Thank you Comrade Valery. Excellent video. We used to make much better cars in USSR.
Could it be because of a bad radiator cap?
I love the way that guy attemps to put cap on ... Smh .... What happen to man ....
😂😂
He treated it like a bottle cap!
Installed new radiator, cap, water pump, temp sensor, thermostat, hoses , and tried to burbed the air out of the system for days. When it cools down the next day it needs more water in radiator , and the overfill tank is overfilled . The old radiator was sludged up and I had the intake gaskets replaced twice in a shop over the last seven years. They did a blown head gasket test and said it was ok . Twice in the last three months when I check the oil it has a quart more than it was filled too.I have not driven it in a month but all this work. The oil is so clean ( it's been changed three times in 6 months; all of 10,000 miles) I do not see water in it. The engine temp will not stabilize and fluctuates at times getting very close to overtemp and I shut it down. It's a 2002 Buick Century 3.1 . From your video I must conclude it is a headgasket. Any other particular test you recommend ?
Did u find issue
@@jayislander Yes I did . In retrospeck the blown head gasket tests were not that conclusive because I had a minute crack in the radiator and could not build enough radiator pressure for a good test.It was suggested , not approved that I build up the radiator cap seat area with epoxy as they had seen erosion over time cause leaks , and the radiator would not hold pressure . I never got around to that. The oil change place said it was leaking pretty good. I MYSELF replaced the radiator , thermostat, uppers & lower hoses for $800 when they wanted $1300. That fixed the leak but It was enough to cross the threshold and cause the head gaskets to fully blow and become worse. The test the shop did not only revealed blown head gasket causing water to go into the oil but I had lower engine problems. I had to replace the engine. I could have fixed the radiator with some good epoxy but this old car had 180000 on it. It was my fathers car so it has sentimental attachments. So the short answer was I had blown head gaskets with water leaking into the oil (1 quart extra on the dipstick of oil per month) and a hairline fracture in the radiator which caused me a lot of headaches and loss of water to cool the engine down. It would seep out while driving but I never really saw a pool of water on the driveway. The crack was on the back side of the radiator and you could not see it. When I removed it I pressure tested it and FINALLY could see where the leak & crack was at.
@@doublej4077 my car is overheating
One other thing ...the crack was up high on the hidden backside , so whenever the radiator was tested there really was no water available at that level to spew water out of when pressurized and tested . When I took it off I filled it to the rim with water , capped off the radiator, and when pressurized the fracture became evident with water seeping out of it , and I FINALLY confirmed the fault !
@@doublej4077 so it your vehicle running better. I just replaced my water pump and it started over heating again a few weeks later. I hope it’s just the radiator and not the gasket.
It can also be a leak somewhere, I had that problem , I changed out my water pump , gasket was tore up , eather air was coming in loosing air and water , and it would spill like that . But now it’s changed out and boom no problems now , been doing good my ac gets cold and my heater heats , but every vehicle is different,
Your son lol😂 made me laugh when he just put the cap on slanted
I have this problem now lmao dude I bought truck from (86 f150) decided to throw like a f350 radiator in it which worked for awhile. well I replaced water pump, timing chain, and removed the thermostat and again this worked for awhile but then my engine got so much pressure I blew the oil pan gasket and since I had to remove engine basically I went ahead and took a look at the head gasket. well past its way out and pretty sure I got some bad rings as I found oil on top of 2 pistons. boiling reservoir was a constant. odly enough one piston looked as though it took on water but there was no milky residue at all and engine looked damn good especially having over 200,000 miles.
I think he needed a gcse in tightening the cap aswell
It’s not boiling the coolant system is pressurized because of the exhaust being forced passed the bad gasket.
Yeah I've got this problem with my old Mitsubishi Colt , it drives fine but after a long journey the exhaust gas pressure keeps blowing coolant out of the tank , I did only pay 600 for the car and have never had to do any work to it in over a year and it has 110 thousand miles on clock, engine still has plenty of power and I think will last me another year if I'm careful
It’s actually both bro. Exhaust temps are 1,000 Fahrenheit +. So yes, it does boil the coolant
@OK Boomer I got lucky my friend, it was just a stuck thermostat as bottom hose was stone cold so coolant wasnt flowing round the system, changed thermostat put new coolant in and now all is good,also didn't help whoever serviced it last put more water than coolant in it lol 😂👍 anyway my old car hopefully will last another year now
Christophe Ayres Careful, I had a body blow up a radiator by putting water in it
@@MultiBeast301 I think im lucky done 3000 miles since and all still working,it pulls well up hills too except on hot days as we had few weeks back 🙈
Thank you sir 🇧🇩🤝✔
Thank you
The air pressure release from expansion tank tells what? Please explain thank you so i fully grasp and understand this test method used here.
meat meat i appreciate you responding back to me on this point. Thank you. Im trying to change head gasket on my 2006 BMW X5 E53 3.0i SAV. I think mine did have white smoke out exhaust pipe. I got new head gasket waiting on several other parts cam chain tensioner needed im wondering do i really need to set tranny lock pin ? I think my timing is already off so im gonna set to top dead center cylinder 1 and 6 try an get head off with cam lobes attached. I believe i can do it..n have to worry bout setting the timing again in order to start vehicle at that time.
meat meat thank you brotha for the advice
So this means removing cylinder head and replacing the gasket. Really great explanation here thanks alot.
And cylinder head has to be skimmed
@@micossathemech3637 you mean if its warped?
I was told my cylinder head couldn’t be skimmed
@@jessicayoung1724engine block can be skimmed not the cylinder head at least not for most modern cars.
I was quoted €6,000 from the dealer, twice what my car's worth
Well you may not like his techniques but he is 100 percent correct
Yes you are correct.
I have a 2006 Acura TSX. I noticed coolant spill and smoke on near the radiator cap although the cap is on. I started the car without the cap off and after a few minutes there were bubbles and smoke coming from the radiator hole where the cap goes on. No overheating but this is not normal. Blown head gasket?
Can that damage your new water pump that is unable to circulate the water
Very good+++++ info
thank you man
Oh , that's why my car no more run run 😕
Is this on any car that you can check it like this to see if I blew the head gasket, the car isn’t overheating anymore though, I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla not finding many videos on my car just on the 2001 and 2007 cars, Can you help me to figure out what is wrong with my car I also have a coolant leak maybe into the oil pan coolant is leaking out the side of the oil pan , maybe I need a new gasket on the oil pan
Good one👍
I changed the thermostat on my 99 Expedition, and it immediately started overheating. By the time I saw it the engine had overheated to the red spot. When I leave it on Drive, it overheats. I haven't seen it overheat on neutral yet. I don't have a radiator cap. I just have an overflow tank w/ a cap. How do I run the test to see if I blew a gasket please? Note: The head gasket had less than 100 miles on it.
I have a coolant leak on an older 97 Dodge Caravan. It is coming out of the exhaust. (Actually the muffler) But the car runs fine as long as I put more coolant in the radiator. No white smoke out of the exhaust. No milky residue in the radiator or in the oil. It's been like this for two years. The vehicle isn't worth the cost of replacing the head gasket. Any suggestions?
Nikola Tesla; before I answer your question does it have a slight miss? Or does the engine idle smooth?
Also my engine is very quiet and no noticeable problems besides the bubbling sound
Totally crazy adding cold water to a hot engine with the engine off..no wonder you have a blown head gasket
How you know he didn't let the engine cool down?
What’s the symptoms about bad thermostat or bad electric pump?
Could you have a clog converter also?
No, not in this situation!
great video
Thanks!
my honda civic radiatar blowing up mackinik told me headgaskit problem and got a new one and he told me 500 dollar coast plz give me a any suggastion for fix it
And it could possibly be a shut close thermostat
That is a severely damaged head gasket.
Yes, it looks like. When lightly damage it is hard to diagnose
You can risk cracking your head if you pour cold water into it like that when the engine is hot.
no way, the cold water hit the hot at the bottom of the radiator first, no way it can go up to the head that fast.
dang0088 da I worked as a mechanic and that’s what I learned. Never put cold water on a hot engine when it’s off. You run the risk of cracking a head or block
I bet u have never seen it crack, when hot and cold meet inside the radiator it would be room temperature, so how can it crack with medium temp?
dang0088 da nope never seen it happen cuz I followed what I was told. These were professionals that taught me. Plus think of this, water supply outside is usually colder than room temp and it’s far from operating temp or boiling hot (overheating). That’s a huge temp shift... it doesn’t mean it will always happen, it means you are running the risk of it happening. It’s Like testing your alternator by disconnecting the negative terminal while the car is on. You run the risk of frying the ecu but it doesn’t mean it will always happen.
Yeah, if it's a piece of shit aluminum motor. Wont happen in a high nickel iron block.
Ford Mondeo 2010 Diesel, loosing coolent, then sometime rasiator fan keeps running even after I turn off engine, also engine overheats and can do not accelerate and stalls.
There is no coolent loss under the car, can't see any leak too. What's the problem?
There may be faulty radiator,water body, or faulty fan for overheating engin. Not akways head gasket.
Clogs.
Thank you for mentioning that
@@tashinanolen5661
Go somewhere
My car had overheating and there was bubbling water in expansion tank so most of the garages said it was head gasket. The actual fault was the impeller on the water pump becoming free from the shaft so there was no coolant flow thus causing it to start boiling. New water pump and timing belt fixed problem.
Your assistant is the type that couldn’t change out a flat tire😂
nice
very good explanation thank you very much
U forgot the simplest problem. If your car has no leak and is using radiator coolant. Cooked head or gasket!
Could be intake manifold gasket
@@Timmyskills really the intake gasket? I have the lq4 6.0l v8 no coolant passes through intake gasket. But I did replace it.
the thermostat does not open on some cars with this too,I think
Yes you are right when thermostat doesnot open same issue
