Causes of a Blown Head Gasket. After that brief overview of blown head gasket symptoms, let us have a look at the prime causes of a blown head gasket. There are more than one reasons that may cause a head gasket failure, ranging from inherent structural problems to engine problems.
A. Bubbles. A blown head gasket and/or cracked head can cause bubbles of air to be visible in the radiator or expansion tank. To check for this, remove the radiator cap, warm up the engine and on a warm engine some head gasket problems will present with bubbles being visible in the radiator or expansion tank.: Paul, if the engine has been overheated it is possible that you have blown a head gasket, cracked or warped a head. If a cylinder head gets too hot it can swell to the point where it crushes the head gasket. This will usually occur at the thinness point of the head gasket which is between the engine cylinders.
