2. Head gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

   A leak in the head gasket - often called a "blown head gasket" - can result in a leak of coolant, the combustion gasses, or both. Blue smoke from the exhaust suggests that excess oil is entering the combustion chambers (although there are other possible causes than a head gasket leak). White smoke from the exhaust suggests that coolant is ...

3. Rocker cover gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_cover

   A rocker cover gasket (valve cover gasket in the US and Canada) is used to seal the joint between the cover and engine head. Failure of the gasket can cause oil to leak from the engine. A head gasket is used to seal the joint between the head and the engine block.

4. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   The crankcase air outlet, where the PCV valve is located, is generally placed as far as possible from the crankcase breather. For example, the breather and outlet are frequently on opposite valve covers on a V engine, or on opposite ends of the valve cover on an inline engine. The PCV valve is often, but not always, placed at the valve cover ...

5. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   A head gasket prevents the gas from leaking between the cylinder head and the engine block. The opening and closing of the valves is controlled by one or several camshafts and springs—or in some engines—a desmodromic mechanism that uses no springs.

6. Ford Power Stroke engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Power_Stroke_engine

   Higher incidents of cavitation erosion of the front cover due to the larger water pump impeller speed, causing coolant to leak into engine oil. EGR cooler failures allowing engine coolant to flow back into #8 cylinder while engine is shut off, which causes the cylinder to hydro-lock and possibly bend the piston connecting rod as well as other ...

7. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   An overflow tank that runs dry may result in the coolant vaporizing, which can cause localized or general overheating of the engine. Severe damage may result if the vehicle is allowed to run over temperature. Failures such as blown head gaskets, and warped or cracked cylinder heads or cylinder blocks may be the result. Sometimes there will be ...
