Engine overheating, excessive boost levels caused by a faulty supercharger or turbocharger and corrosive coolant can lead to eventual head gasket failure, making replacement an inevitable task. During a head gasket replacement service at Ray Laethem Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you can expect our CDJR Certified Technicians to take care of the following:

• Check the cylinder heads for signs of warpage or other damage
• Replace the head gasket using genuine Mopar parts

Ignoring Your Head Gasket Problems Can Be Dangerous

Ignoring head gasket failure can be one of the worst things you can do to your engine. A blown head gasket can cause engine coolant levels to drop, placing the engine in even greater danger of overheating. Engine coolant can also enter the combustion chamber, resulting in excessive exhaust smoke and poor engine performance. If coolant from a blown head gasket mixes with engine oil, the resulting mess can clog up coolant passages, compromise cooling system performance and eventually lead to a complete engine breakdown.
