DB Yes, excessive heat can distort a cylinder head. That's one reason driving an overheating vehicle can turn what might initially have been a cooling-system fault into a much larger engine repair.
What warping can cause
A warped mating surface can prevent the head gasket from sealing correctly, leading to further head gasket failure, coolant loss or compression problems.
What can be done
Depending upon the severity, the head may require specialist assessment before a repair can be completed, which can sometimes include skimming.
DB Autos can assess a warped cylinder head. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
