What Lies Beneath Your VW Cylinder Heads?

By Josephine Pennington


After using your VW for a very long time, you might find it emitting very white smoke. This is an indication that your engine has a problem and it needs to be checked. In most cases when the gasket burns, the car will emit the white smoke. The VW Cylinder Heads are covered by the gasket which seals the blocks of the engine. It also covers the coolant passages which can allow the coolant to penetrate inside to the cylinder head. Therefore resulting to vapor ones you try and ignite your car.

Many folks wonder what leads to the burning of the gasket. Just like the word burn means, it is due to the extreme heat in your engine. This leads to it warping and causes the engine not to seal normally. It is very easy to get VW repair parts of both the body and engine. This is because the VW Company is among the top global car manufacturers and they have improved overtime from the regime of Nazi. Some of the global cars that VW manufactures and sells include Lamborghini, Bentley and Audi.

How can you know that a car is manufactured by the VW Company? All VW cars have a blue VW logo on them. In all their vehicles and any other vehicle, engine heating is the main cause of the head gasket to fail. When the engine heats, then it will cause the engine metal construction to expand beyond the set limits. Some other few reasons of the gasket to fail include detonation which is also called pre ignition.

The burning of the gasket causes it to fail working properly. This results to the combustion of the cylinder heads. The out of time combustion occurs in the cold valves and pistons which are above the engine. This causes the valves and the gasket to strain more.

Other than emission of the white smoke, you can know if your gasket is experiencing any problem if you hear a pinging noise in your car similar to knocking. To change your gasket, begin by removing the engine.

Continue and remove the exchangers and the mufflers before you proceed to disassemble the friction disk, pressure plate and the fuel pump. When removing the cylinder head, you should keep in mind that there are eight nuts which have washers. Remove the cylinder head and hold it together with the cylinder assemblies.

You can continue and replace the cylinders after you remove the sleeves and slide away the pistons. However, if the other parts are damaged, consider replacing the full compartment by removing the wrist and pushing the pistons out. Remember to remove the inside compartments. Continue and replace the burnt gasket using an original one.

Replacing the burnt gasket is not an easy task and it requires a qualified and experienced person. Keep in mind that your gasket can never expire due to age and when it burns, it means that there is a problem with your engine. One of the most common indications is that some of the parts of your engine are very old and worn out.
