I took my radiator cap off and crank the motor. Each time the Piston went up a 3 to 4 ft spray of water came out the radiator neck. I would say blown head gasket. Great video.
The engine oil is fine, no white smokes or any smokes in the exhaust. But I regularly lose coolant new thermostat and radiator cap. I only have that issue that when cranking water burst up.
@kento6201 yes. The head gasket can blow on any given location. It can mix coolant and oil, between 2 cylinders mixing compression or just blow compression out the atmosphere. Water and oil mix is a definite sign but not always the case. Do a compression check, then with engine cold, crank motor and coolant should remain in radiator without blowing out or bubbling constantly if headgasket is good.
@kento6201 I did use a bottle of crc headgasket repair on a corolla with a small leak and it's held great for a year now. Just follow the instructions to a tee if you choose this route. You put it in radiator and warm up engine then shut it off. The cap holds pressure in cooling system and it'll push sealer into gasket failure. Let it cool, then repeat a few times. But let us know what compression check results you get on each cylinder first. Definitely the first step in the process.
@kento6201 if it's got good compression, problem could lie elsewhere. Don't just assume headgasket without readings. A lot of parts stores have loan a tool programs to keep from having to buy a bunch of stuff.
White smoke out from under my hood, the coolant reservoir was near empty but the oil is good and at level. I never checked the exhaust yet for white smoke and the temp gauge was shooting to near red.
2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7 L. Coolant was 1 gallon low, checked oil and the cap was milky. No white smoke no misfiring. I tend to think the head gasket has a leak. What do you recommend. Resurface or replace the heads?
I had no milky oil, yester smoke came from the engine with a engine overheat warning. I figured it was a hose based om where it was spewing from. Had it towed to a shop and they said i need new hoses, a new thermostat, and a head gasket replacement. They quoted me over 6k to do the work. I can get a new 5.7 and have it installed for that price.
I have a 2000 ford f150 5.4l and I would have to add coolant at least twice a year. Could it be a bad head gasket or can a bad intake manifold cause similar issues? Thanks
My 2014 nissan maxima put out no white smoke however the coolant in the reservoir was black and smelled of exhaust, hydrocarbon text was positive, bubbles from the radiator, a burst came from the radiator when open, coolant leakage somewhere.
all my compression test good, but at the end i had a blown gasket leak cylinder two after two doing radiator pressure test ... so the pressure test is not always accurate
Pls advice my car coolant is drying up everyday and I had to refill it...and there is no white smoke coming out from the exhust pipe , bubbles in the radiator...does that mean my gasket is blown
I have no white smoke, no milky engine cap or oil, no milky transmission fluid, the only issue I have is higher operating temperatures than last year this same time. The temperature is even higher still after I replaced the 195 deg thermostat. The prior 195 deg t-stat was partially open when I removed it, but the engine temperature was always low with it in. (I replaced it because the engine started running hotter. The daily outdoor temps have been in the 100s.) Any advice?? Thank You
You more than likely have an obstruction somewhere. High restriction with a cooling system like a motors, equals higher temps because less flow through the system a a whole. Are you losing coolant somewhere? Is it low, or lowering over time? You didn't mention anything relevant to diagnosing, is that because it's not lowering? It could be because of a number of things when it comes to just heat. If it's JUST heat, then there could be two things that cause that which AREN'T the cooling system. Number one, check the pcv valve.(potential to run weird) Number two, check to see if your exhaust is clogged(you didn't say it was running weird) If it ISN'T these two, it could very well be the cooling system is obstructed(even partially) somewhere. But I'm reluctant to give a definitive "this is it" because of how little information you have.
I have a 17 Pacifica and my radiator leaked suddenly at the highway. Car overheated. Had to replace radiator and thermostat. Things have been ok since then. How can I test now?
Coolant leak after car parked, and found coolant in the oil. Was told possible water pump failure on an infiniti. I just did not understand how it was possible. Found out water pump run by timing chain . Has 2 gaskets .It seem possible if chain side gasket fails coolant can mix with oil. Not sure about it. However will change water pump and chain tensioner and have car tested for head gasket leak.
Hi, i have an 2011 Subaru STi, and i have oil in my coolant resarvoir, but noe milky cap. I took a test with those coolant testers, and it went light green but not yellow….what does that mean? Can it be the head gasket or something else?
@@donovan6982 wrong, ive just checked it and it’s not the headgasket, it was just wrong reading, and the there was just little oil in the resarvoir, and that was because of faulty oil cooler
I am not sure if I have a blown head gasket but here's what's going on.... I have a misfire that only appears with a scanner, but there isn't a check engine light. There is a high idle at about 1500. The temperature gauge immediately goes to the mid point when I crank the car, then it immediately drops to 0. It never overheats when I drive or stop at a light. Coolant levels seems to be fine. My car is a 1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royale with 400k miles.on the original engine and transmission. Is my head gasket blown? Please help if you can?
I have replaced the entire coolant system, including the coolant cap! And our 2017 dodge journey crossroad is still over heating! Please, someone help!! We don’t see anything milky anywhere! I just do not know what the problem can be! Please help!!!
Are you positive all the air is out? Air gets trapped in some cars and passeges which would cause overheating and very hard to get out. Or water pump fins are broken. Its frustrating for sure
That's the obvious sign of a blown head gasket or block. If you have no milky oil yet you can save the engine with a new gasket. When you get milky oil in engine. You'll need to buy new engine
So I changed my radiator cap and thermostat on a 04 camry. The coolant was disappearing out of the reservoir too fast. Radiator cap had broken apart. Now the coolant is backing up into the reservoir. I boed the system. I saw some bubbles, but they would stop. The drives good. No overheating. My only issue is the coolant going into reservoir. What else coukd it be?
Check compression at cool temps. (Before operating temps) If nothing else you're burning oil, but if it IS a blown gasket then it seals at operating temps.

You're awesome man, great explanation
Appreciate your knowledge bro🤙
Great information bro 👌🏾
Thank you for the info
On my 96 ford Windstar van the lower hose leaking what is that one called thank-you good show
White smoke out from under my hood, the coolant reservoir was near empty but the oil is good and at level. I never checked the exhaust yet for white smoke and the temp gauge was shooting to near red.
Your radiator may be leaking.if you keep running your headgasket will blown
Great info ..
New subscriber here my brother! Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏽
Excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You have to take into account with this new technology in automobiles. it's not always simple to diagnose a blown head gasket.
Thanks.. I have a fiat 500 pop transmission dualogic I need help because it can't drive

What are symptoms of engine when needed to be retorqe?
My 2014 nissan maxima put out no white smoke however the coolant in the reservoir was black and smelled of exhaust, hydrocarbon text was positive, bubbles from the radiator, a burst came from the radiator when open, coolant leakage somewhere.
How do you know the difference between and cracked head and a blown head gasket
Do you have your own shop, and where are you located?
all my compression test good, but at the end i had a blown gasket leak cylinder two after two doing radiator pressure test ... so the pressure test is not always accurate
Milky stuff can be from bad oil cooler is engine runs ok and no smoke

Check your large cooling hoses going to and from radiator for being really soft, they can collapse due to water pump intake suction, hose too soft.
can you really repair a suspected blown gasket with kseal
3:20 what if i jus added coolant without bleeding? bc its never done that before.
Can i still have a blown head gasket if my engine compression is fine?
Good guy
Handsome?
I have a 17 Pacifica and my radiator leaked suddenly at the highway. Car overheated. Had to replace radiator and thermostat. Things have been ok since then.
How can I test now?
I used to just depend on know fluid in the oil. 👍🏾😎

Indian white smoke 🔥
nice ❤
Thanks for the video. Can the gas combustion going into the coolant cause over heating?
Yes, absolutely.
Hi, i have an 2011 Subaru STi, and i have oil in my coolant resarvoir, but noe milky cap. I took a test with those coolant testers, and it went light green but not yellow….what does that mean? Can it be the head gasket or something else?
Head gasket
@@donovan6982Well, i delivered my Car to a Subaru mechanic and they said it wasnt the headgasket
@@donovan6982 wrong, ive just checked it and it’s not the headgasket, it was just wrong reading, and the there was just little oil in the resarvoir, and that was because of faulty oil cooler
My coolant it’s doing bubbles but there’s no overheat??
I have oil in the coolant but no coolant in the oil
White smoke like all the time you drive? Even when engine reached work temperature?
Yes
I put water in it goes straight 2 my motor what's wrong
I am not sure if I have a blown head gasket but here's what's going on....
I have a misfire that only appears with a scanner, but there isn't a check engine light.
There is a high idle at about 1500.
The temperature gauge immediately goes to the mid point when I crank the car, then it immediately drops to 0. It never overheats when I drive or stop at a light.
Coolant levels seems to be fine.
My car is a 1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royale with 400k miles.on the original engine and transmission.
Is my head gasket blown? Please help if you can?
When my truck is running after a while the coolant reservoir starts over flowing …any idea what it can be ?
You might have a faulty radiator cap
@@Top5AutoRepairs your awesome thank you !

yo we just give the old rad a good sniff hahaha smells like gas...fucked gasket...hopefully not cracked head.
Wtf is engine cap?
White smoke blew out my radiator neck when I took the cap off and started it.

Egr cooler
🤔 there is always white smoke coming out of everyone's car
When it cold outside yes
Every car has white smoke in cold weather conditions.
I have a scenario where white smoke is blown only when the engine reaches operational temperature so not when engine is cold
Check compression at cool temps.
(Before operating temps)
If nothing else you're burning oil, but if it IS a blown gasket then it seals at operating temps.
