LOL, Thanks for watching.

perfect explanation. another point, especially for anyone who may be thinking of throwing good money at an overheated engine is that depending on how badly it was overheated the piston rings will lose their spring tension, and this will increase oil consumption (possible smoking from tailpipe), decrease compression, and allow exhaust gasses to sneak past the rings. this will further fowl the condition as deposits build up on the rings over time from the leaking of oil and hot combustion gasses. if it was a bad overheat just get a used engine put in unless the repair is being done for your own repair education.

Will it NOT turn over or NOT fire? If the head gasket is blown, the average repair is about $3,000 at a independent shop and about $5,000 at the dealer.

Hello Im trying to figure one out now from bad idler. This engine is a 4.0 litre with iron head it got hot and made it home in less than 5 minutes from a broken idler puley..But it actually started up and was runnuing next day,but it got to where it would not draw in gas and it got worse to where now it wont start..So far the compression is showing good on 3 of the 6 cylinders will check the others tomorrow,.but water did get on distributor and coil from the over blow so I still am not sure if my engine is good or not..I am showing spark at all cylinders but wonder if it may be weak on that..So will find out more..If my compression turns out ok, and no water mixed in oil I may have hope..your thoughts?

Well, there are 3 chambers in an engine. Coolant, oil, and combustion air/gases. You can have good compression numbers (air chambers) but have other issues like a crack in the head, etc. Anytime you suspect that the vehicle CAN RUN hot because something has gone bad, i.e. no water/coolant circulation, low coolant level, etc. It's best that you shut it down and call a tow truck. A tow is always cheaper than an engine rebuild.

It was attached to thermostat housing but disconnected from radiator. At any rate the truck overheated and shut off on her. Thankfully I got it to my house and refilled all coolant in radiator and overflow container and thank god it started right up.

I don't think so. The term "blown head gasket" is a general statement for a complicated situation. The most common problem is that the head(s) are no longer flat, when overheated they usually warp. So they need to be machined to be flat again or replaced with flat ones. There can also be other damage that needs to be checked out.

So if I have a no crank no start after engine running hot do I need a new motor or just a new head gasket? 4 cyl with coolant on two spark plugs and all cylinders are below normal readings after doing compression test

@RobertDIY

if the engine isn't locked up, probably just a new head.

This happened to my motor. It runs but no compression. My question, since I the motor oil is still full and the block did not damage, seems like the head cylinder is damaged and likely head gasket as well. Would you advise attempting to have the cylinder head machined and change the head gasket for the engine to work fine once again? I want to try this since I think the compression loss can be a result of the head gasket damage and head cylinder damage. I think the block my be okay still since it steel.

Hi, I hope you could be able to help me. I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, recently purchased. I recently drove it to work (15 miles), and then about four days later, I drive it first to a store and back home (4 miles round trip), but then I couldn't make it to another store (about 5 miles by my trip way) before the vehicle overheated, and I had to limp the vehicle home. The only difference between the first two trips and the final trip, is that prior to my final trip I performed a "AC Recalibration", with the intention of testing a quick fix for broken heat. My question is that is it likely the cause of the overheat, either by actually overheating the vehicle or screwing up the engine temperature guage, or if its merely correllation and unrelated.

Great video Robert. My 1999 GS 400 overheated while my car was on idle for about 15mins. Unfortunately the temp gauge didn't was normal that's I was not alarmed when the VSC check engine turned on. Plus VSC had nothing to do with the temp. of the engine. Well, since it was a hot day, I decided to leave the engine running while I wait for my kids. The next thing I notice, when I my kids got in the car, I smell musty smell. Which is the coolant and in few seconds I see my hood smoking and the engine started running erratic. Temp gauge is still normal at this point. Stopped the engine and check the underneath the hood. The steam was coming out of the neck where the tube is connected to the reservoir. So I know the radiator is toast. I also noticed the reservoir also has a whole. The unfortunate is, I thought it was just a steam that was leaking out, but when everything was said and done, it turned my coolant to white. I don't know why it's white but I have a gut feeling that's bad. However, I didn't see any oil leak. I was expecting a blown head gasket, the cylinder heads are gone or the whole engine is toast. The engine still runs but I hear a little knock. I believe it's coming from the top engine. I hate to buy another car because this car was running like a new car until this happened. I also don't want to spend money on a new car but I know this car has a very expensive engine. What would you recommend me to do when I bring the car to the shop pls?

Hello, I have a 2001 Ford Taurus that i had some overheating problems because #1 the radiator had a crack #2 some previous owner did not change the oil 30,000 miles ago. so what i did was change the oil, which removed all of the valves tapping a lil bit. and now, i was changing my radiator , and saw some brown liquid that had an odd smell, and i believed that i had a blown head gasket, but the irony is that the oil is still black. does this mean that i have a BHG or i need to change the radiator

So, what is the current problem?

Off to go pull some spark plugs... Yay. Overheated and actually died on me while pulling off the road. Gauge said normal mid temp, but ... That's not what the oil smoking off the pan was telling me. Won't start, don't have much hope for the poor thing. Thanks for a quick rundown. My oil looks good and the water seemed fine, so check the spark plugs next and if it passes that I'll do the compression check. Ya just never know where to start with so many possible failures, from a simple switch or sensor to serious irreparable failure ... 👍✌

If the oil was good and the coolant level was good, I doubt it overheated. Unless the water pump is gone bad. 🤔

@@RobertDIY water drops on all three front sparkplugs. I'm pretty sure I murdered it 😢 hose popped off, but it was to the heater core, up high. System seemed to have water in it still, just lost pressure. Hose was temp clamped in place. Gauge never rose above mid, but it ate itself. I guess I could still bust out the pressure check, though it seems pointless with water on the plugs.

As coming off the freeway my car steering wheel locked so I pulled over to the side and shows it overheated. Now it doesn’t wanna start? What’s the reasoning for this?

If it won't crank the engine is likely locked up. I'd replace the entire engine.

Good video Robert. I have a 99 Prelude w 236,000 mi. I've been having issues with this car since day 1 (have had it about 4 months.) Last night I was on my way home and noticed it was running hot so I stopped and found that the bottom radiator hose had came off. Something I haven't seen with this one yet - there was steam coming from the driver side of the block I guess that's where the water pump/timing is located. I repaired the hose and checked everything else refilled and when I try to start engine it won't start and it makes a weak funny sound like either no compression or no fire but I didn't notice anything wrong with oil it's not milky and no moisture on plugs but the plug ignitors were caked over with crud. I removed them and cleaned/sanded with scotchbrite put back in and still has that sound and won't start.

That's what it was Robert. Got it repaired ... me and a mechanic that I found at Autozone ... lol. Running like a top now but still burning the heck out of oil. I think it's the rear seal. Thanks for your input though.

If this happen with the coolant leaks leaking into my head gasket, can I replace it and the car start up and run again? I think my car got blown headgasket with coolant leaking in it. I was driving last night and my car just lost power and died. I tried starting it up but it didnt work. Battery and Alternator was good..

If the car overheated it likely blew the head gasket.

Make sure fans are working. and may need new radiator water pump and thermostat. Also some time you might have a air pocket in your hoses which will prevent cycling. And yeah head gasket is blown sound like and coper sealent helps with minor warps

Hey i have a question. I have a 99 grand am gt and i was driving one say and it overheated so i pulled it over and let it cool off. After it cooled of it would crank back up and start but I decided not to drive it and left it there for a couple days. I came back and started it and drove it for 5 minutes and it overheated again. Now it wont crank and the lights won't come on in the car or anything its completely dead. I really love this car and want to fix it. Any advice?

Have it towed next time. Sound like you overheated it enough this time to damage the engine and the electrical system.
