Head Gasket Repair

A blown head gasket can cause coolant in the oil, engine misfires, or oil leaks, but may show no obvious symptoms.

When it fails between the combustion chamber and cooling system, it often leads to coolant loss and overheating, which may only happen on longer drives.

This failure is highly damaging, as overheating worsens and corrosive combustion gases can harm the cooling system. Over time, pressure may build up, causing repeated failures of hoses, radiators, and other components.

Head Gasket Repair: Engine Misfire Caused by a Blown Head Gasket

When a head gasket fails between cylinders, it can lead to engine misfires without the usual warning signs.

In these cases, compression from one cylinder leaks into another, causing reduced compression and resulting in a rough idle.

Unlike typical head gasket failures, this type of damage may not cause overheating, coolant mixing with oil, or other common symptoms.

As a result, many drivers overlook a blown head gasket as the root cause of engine misfires, making it crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed by professionals.

Oil Leaks

At Dale’s Auto Service, we specialize in repairing oil leaks that can damage your engine over time.

Common sources of oil leaks include valve covers, oil pans, and rear main engine seals.

Our skilled technicians will thoroughly diagnose the issue and provide a detailed estimate before any repairs begin.

Many vehicles come to us with low oil levels, often due to undetected leaks. Ignoring these leaks can lead to costly repairs down the road.

Engine Replacement

If your engine is old, blown or is beyond repair, Dales Auto Service will install a rebuilt or good low mileage used engine.

There are various reasons why one would either choose, or need, to replace an engine for their automobile.

Some customers simply need to replace an older engine which requires major repairs, while others may replace an engine to obtain greater power, make an old car more reliable for daily use, or because it is less expensive than buying a new car.

Regardless of your engine replacement needs, Dales Auto Service are experienced and ready to assist you in achieving the highest level of performance for your vehicle.
