Decatur is a small city located in northeastern Georgia, just 5 miles northeast of Atlanta. The city was founded in 1823 at the intersection of two Native American trails and named after US naval hero Stephen Decatur.
The main function of a head gasket is to hold engine compression while keeping oil and coolant circulation separate. Undetected blown head gaskets cause coolant and oil mixing, which could lead to severe engine damage, such as engine block cracking.
Driving your vehicle without coolant can cause a blown head gasket. If your head gasket blew before coolant started leaking, its hard to say what might have caused it. But if it started leaking way before, and you drove without coolant and the engine got hot, that could cause it to happen. Goosey Â· 7 years ago. Thumbs up. 1. Thumbs down. 0. Comment. Add a comment.
