Will a warped head make your car overheat

Question

Will a warped head make your car overheat

Answer 1

It will if the warp is bad enough to allow combustion chamber gases into the cooling system.

How do you know the head is warped? Is it off right now? Can you see if the head gasket has been leaking anywhere? Are there any cracks in the head?

Answer 2

    YES , a warped cyl. head will cause the engine to overheat , as

  the coolant will be forced out by compression , until there's no coolant left in the sysem , then friction will melt some metal's , and then seize the engine , as it meld's these metal's together .  

Answer 3

How is your car still going if it has a warped head? If it is still running then it will probably only overheat if you dont have water/coolant in the radiator or you have a problem with the thermostat.

Answer 4

A warped or cracked head can cause leaks between the combustion chamber(s) and the water jacket by causing the gasket to fail.  Could be that the engine overheated for another reason and this is the result of a severe overheating.

Answer 5

DARN SKIPPY,IT WILL,THINK ABOUT IT,HEAD IS NOT SEALED, WATER EXSCAPES, BET YOU EITHER HAVE FOAM IN YOUR OIL OR ,RADIATOR,OR YOU HAVE STEAM COMING FROM YOUR EXHAUST PIPES,, BET IF YOU PULL YOUR PLUGS OUT YOU'LL SEE MORE EVIDANCE...GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Some with a screen over the small air opening do Had to cut the bus screen out them worked fine>

Answer 7

yes it will ,and it will do it all the time ,there's no in between times on a head gasket,there's a way you can check it by running a pressure check on the cooling system that will tell you if it has major leak in the system good luck.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Engines with warped heads and or blown head gaskets can be run it it isn't sevier. That is why they sell head agsket stop leak and block seal sometimes they really do works, sometimes not.

Answer 10

it sure will! also it will make the anti-freeze mix in with the oil.

Answer 11

A warped head will, among other things, allow water to get into the engine, and mix with the oil. This will make the oil less efficient in lubricating the moving parts, thus creating more heat-producing friction. The water particles will also heat up more, and add to the problem. The water will get into the firing chambers and mix with the fuel, so it doesn't fire properly, and it will attach to the spark plugs so they don't fire properly. All this make the engine work much harder, while producing less power.

End result? the engine will overheat, the head will warp more.........
