DB Overheating is one of the most common causes of head gasket failure. Excessive cylinder pressure and previous incorrect installation can also contribute.
What the gasket has to withstand
The head gasket sits between the engine block and cylinder head and has to maintain cylinder compression, coolant circulation and oil circulation, all while coping with substantial heat and pressure.
Why the underlying cause matters
If overheating caused the failure, the cooling-system fault should also be addressed, otherwise a replacement gasket can fail again.
DB Autos can investigate what caused your head gasket to fail. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
