What Are The Symptoms of Cylinder Head Failure?

• Drop in coolant levels
• Drop in oil levels
• Drop in engine performance
• Smoke coming out of the exhaust

The most common reason for cylinder head failure is overheating caused by coolant loss, head gasket failure or restricted flow of coolant. In extreme cases a cracked or damaged cylinder head can result in terminal damage to the entire engine.

If the cylinder head fails, it will lead to the engine (and by extension the vehicle) breaking down. It’s important, therefore, that drivers are able to recognize cracked cylinder head symptoms as quickly as possible so any damage can be limited.
