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. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   Gaskets and shaft seals were intended to limit the leakage of oil, but they were usually not expected to entirely prevent it. The blow-by gases would diffuse through the oil and then leak through the seals and gaskets into the atmosphere, causing air pollution and odors. The first refinement in crankcase ventilation was the road draught tube.

4. Siamesed cylinders - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siamesed_cylinders

   Blown head gasket at the hottest location between two siamesed cylinders Gasket with a cooling channel between the two bores. Siamesed cylinders are engine cylinders arranged in such a way that they have no channels between them to allow water or other coolant to circulate.

5. Nash Rambler straight-six engine - Wikipedia

   The head bolts must be re-torqued (retightening process) regularly. [10] Factory service manuals recommend that head bolt torque be checked every 4,000 mi (6,400 km) and to re-torque them every 8,000 mi (13,000 km). Modern head gaskets can extend this service interval to re-torque the bolts every 12,000 mi (19,000 km), or every other year.

6. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

   Leak-down testing is a static test. Leak-down tests cylinder leakage paths. Leak-down primarily tests pistons and rings, seated valve sealing, and the head gasket. Leak-down will not show valve timing and movement problems, or piston movement related sealing problems. Any test should include both compression and leak-down.

7. 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.
