So, by removing the radiator cap and cranking and/or starting your Jeep, you can physically see if this is happening or not.ĬASE 2: The coolant DID NOT bubble out NOR shoot out from the radiator. ![]() When the head gasket gets blown, one of the most common after-effects is the engine compression/combustion gases escaping into the cooling system, since it's not sealing effectively anymore. Now, in case you're wondering why this is happening: Well, the head gasket's job is to seal both the coolant and engine oil and also the engine compression/combustion process happening inside each engine cylinder.

The water or coolant inside the radiator will shoot up and out of the now open radiator.Ģ.) The coolant will not be disturbed.
