At any given time, a number of fluids and gases are running through your vehicle's pipes and reservoirs, helping it to run smoothly and managing its systems. These fluids and gases are all held in with the help of gaskets. Gaskets are built to be incredibly tough and take a lot of punishment, but sometimes they still fail, and if not properly maintained, a "blown" gasket can cause catastrophe.
There are a lot of things that can cause a gasket to blow, but the most common are an overheated engine, improper torque, cheap gasket construction, detonation damage, or simply wear and tear. When a gasket fails, you'll sometimes notice a gurgling sound coming from your radiator, or bubbling and foaming in your radiator. Other symptoms include white smoke from your exhaust, low cylinder pressure, or a rapid pressure buildup in your coolant.
