A Closer Look At The 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.



What causes the failure of your VWs gasket? One of the main reason is overheating. When there is intense heat in the engine compartment, it will cause the warping of the gasket and the engine head will not seal properly. The VW Company has improved overtime since the Nazi regime and has become one of the best car manufacturers in Europe. Some of the vehicle brands that are sold by VW Company include Bentley, Lamborghini and Audi among a few others.



To ensure that your car is originally manufactured by the company, ensure that it has a blue VW label. If it has one, then you can consult a dealer who has spares from your car manufacturer. After the engine of your car heats, it leads to the metal in the engine to expand beyond the limits and in turn leads to pre ignition which is also a cause for the burning of your gasket.



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.



If you want to replace the cylinder head at this point, ensure you have removed the sleeves and continue to slip the piston out. You can also choose to replace the compartment. Before you do so, remove the piston wrist and squeeze the pistons components out. Replace the gasket using the right size for your engine.



By now you have realized that replacing a VW gasket is not an easy task to be done by an unqualified person. Your VWs head gasket rarely expires because of age. If it needs replacing, then it means other parts of the car are old and worn out and they need to be replaced. In case the head cracks and you are able to see the inside of the engine, then it means most of the parts have been burnt.
