overheat : cylinder head gasket problem?

[sprex]

Hi Guys,

Wow, barely 3 weeks of owning a car eh ang dami ko na naging problems.. Sana magamit ko na ung car sa holiday sa Nov without problemds...

Buti na lang dami ako tulong na nareceive dito sa forum . Ngayon naman ang problem is may tendency to overheat na yung car (96 Galant SS). Punta kami Tarlac yesterday (from mandaluyong), very smooth naman ung takbo namin sa NLEX tapos nung nasa dau exit na kami unti unti tumaas ung needle ng temp. Di naman umabot sa critical level.. pag dating namin ng Tarlac pina-check namin sa mechanic ung car, sabi nung mechanic, may pressure ung radiator kasi lumalabas daw ung water pag binuksan ung cover (bubbling?), ang diagnosis nila is kailangan i replace ung cylinder head gasket. Ang mga napansin nila is may konting water na lumalabas sa muffler, kumonti ung engine oil (kaka change oil lang namin mga 2 weeks ago) and parang may oil (buo-buo) sa radiator and dun sa lalagyan ng water (sa coolant?) tapos ang bilis din maubos ung water nung radiator..

Need advice po ulit from the experts on what to do and kung tama na un cylinder head gasket nga ang culprit.

salamat po,
Sprex

Water sa exhaust is normal. Combustion produces CO2 and H2O.

Oil can be leaking from somewhere else. Have the engine cleaned tapos check mo kung san yung leak galing. Engine oil consumption may also be a cause kung bakit nauubos yung oil.

To confirm headgasket problem, look at the coolant. Kung medyo murky siya na parang malapot, or has the consistency of milk na brown, baka yon na nga yun.

from what you described, possible... almost all of them are symptoms of a busted clylinder head gasket... also, palyado ba? and check the oil if nagbago kulay? whitish color means, water might have mixed w/ oil already... refrain from using your car muna. pa check mo na agad... goodluck, hopefully it can be solved w/ minimum gastos... 3 weeks pa lang sayo ung car?!? what other problems lumabas na? mileage ng car?

ganyan din sakit ng L300 ko dati tama ung mekaniko cylinder head gasket nga. check mo din kung after kaka start plang mga 5mins cguro tingnan mo if may pressure na sa radiator pag binuksan. pag meron na sira na nga head gasket mo...

[jake1210]

cylinder head gasket yan at kailangan mo ng palitan na experience ko na yan sa toyota ko.

yes cylinder gasket na yan kung meron tiny droplest of oil sa radiator mo. kung di ka pa rin sigurado pa compression test mo. If you're ready to change your head gasket,my advice is to replace the valve seals as well that will save you time and money.Make sure hindi rin warp yung deck.

Tama, meron nga droplets ng oil near the cap.. Ano po ung compression test? and how much will it cost kung papalitan ung valve seals?

Thanks.

Thanks Lui, meron nga pressure kasi pag bukas nung radiator, parang nag bubbling tapos umaapaw ung tubig..

D din naman sya palyado, ang ganda nga ng takbo nung car, ung temp gauge kasi bigla tataas tapos bigla baba.. D pa naman nag bago ung kulay ng oil, pero konti na nung we checked. Yeah, we bought it recently lang.. Pinaayos ko ung transmission, 100K plus na ung mileage..

hello, same problem before. my ride is '96 civic, lagi tumataas temp, me halong oil sa radiator, amoy gas ung coolant reservoir same with the radiator, palyado, matakaw sa gas, bilis mabawasan oil and hirap re-start.

pina check ko sa mechanic, he found out me singaw sa cylinder head. pina machine shop namin (cylinder head resurface) then me mga pinalitan na malalaking tornilyo, palit cylinder head gasket, change oil, linis spark plug, linis din radiator.

after that lahat ok na, nakapag byahe nako manila without any hussle. radiator is a single row surplus. total cost of repair 6k.

before ko pinagawa nakaka 200kms lang ako sa 38liters of gas, city and some minor highway driving, after ko pinagawa with same 38liters of gas and city driving, i've got to reached 320kms.

that's the effect if loose compression ang engine..malakas sa gas...kaya mas maganda, pa-compression test baka may singaw na...

meron din ako problema sa auto ko, same din ang problema, una lagi ako dag dag ng engine oil, one week ko syang nagamit tapos ngayon tumataas na yung temperature ko, san po kaya problema nito proton wira po to..

You need to do a visual inspection kung sa may leak sa labas ng engine(i.e head gasket,valve cover gasket,rear or front seals)kung wala baka internal like valve seals or piston ring.Not sure about your temp problem.

Hi!

I have the car checked and it is really the cylinder head gasket causing the problem. Pinapalitan ko na and kasama change oil (sayang kasi bagong change oil lang un - synthetic oil pa pinalagay ko 2 weeks ago), i spend aroung 3.5K lahat lahat. Nag test drive din kami to make sure na d na tataas ung temp and ok naman na. d pa umabot sa middle ung needle nung temp gauge. Pinakita sakin ung pinalitan na gasket and sure enough worn out na nga. Wheww.. I hope OK na ung car... bale and kailangan ko na lang na ayusin is ung speedometer sensor, d pa ako nakakahanap ng surplus..

Thanks guys for all of your suggestions and help!
