The Ways the Head Gasket, Head, Engine Block can fail

[dom14]

Hey Guys,

Below are the scenarios that I can think of the ways the engine fails due to head, head gasket or engine block issues.

• Water to oil
• Oil to water
• Water to combustion chamber
• Oil to combustion chamber(Rare I think?)
• Water to outside
• Oil to outside
  
• Compression issues from combustion gas leak cylinder to cylinder
  cylinder to outside
  cylinder to water (or oil)
  valve seat/valve recession)
• Compression, oil blow-by, smoke issues from worn oil scraper rings
• Smoke issues from worn valve guide seals(smoke on idling, no smoke on revving)

Let me know if I need to correct or add more scenarios or details.

Thanx

Dom
