Information On VW Cylinder Heads

By Josephine Pennington


When your Volkswagen spews a huge amount of the white exhaust smoke, then it means your car has a problem directly from its engine. Most likely, its the Volkswagen gasket that has a problem. The gasket covers the VW Cylinder Heads, seals the engine blocks and extends further to the coolant passages. Therefore, if your gasket has a problem, then it means that the coolant will be able to penetrate to the cylinder of your VW and turn it to vapor ones you have ignited the engine.

Many folks wonder what leads to the burning of the gasket. Just like the word burn means, it is due to the extreme heat in your engine. This leads to it warping and causes the engine not to seal normally. It is very easy to get VW repair parts of both the body and engine. This is because the VW Company is among the top global car manufacturers and they have improved overtime from the regime of Nazi. Some of the global cars that VW manufactures and sells include Lamborghini, Bentley and Audi.

To ensure that your car is originally manufactured by the company, ensure that it has a blue VW label. If it has one, then you can consult a dealer who has spares from your car manufacturer. After the engine of your car heats, it leads to the metal in the engine to expand beyond the limits and in turn leads to pre ignition which is also a cause for the burning of your gasket.

When the gasket fails, an out-of-time combustion happens in the cylinder heads. The out of time combustion is not allowed. This is because the combustion that happens in the engine occurs when the closed valves and also the pistons on top of the engines power stroke. Therefore, the improper combustion will strain the valves, gasket and also the pistons.

Other than emission of the white smoke, you can know if your gasket is experiencing any problem if you hear a pinging noise in your car similar to knocking. To change your gasket, begin by removing the engine.

Begin by removing the mufflers and exchangers before you disassemble the lower compartment which encompasses the fuel pump, pressure plate and the friction disk. Remove the nuts which are eight in number and remember to keep the washers safely. After you remove the cylinders, hold them together with the assemblies.

You can continue and replace the cylinders after you remove the sleeves and slide away the pistons. However, if the other parts are damaged, consider replacing the full compartment by removing the wrist and pushing the pistons out. Remember to remove the inside compartments. Continue and replace the burnt gasket using an original one.

By now you have realized that replacing a VW gasket is not an easy task to be done by an unqualified person. Your VWs head gasket rarely expires because of age. If it needs replacing, then it means other parts of the car are old and worn out and they need to be replaced. In case the head cracks and you are able to see the inside of the engine, then it means most of the parts have been burnt.
