Can a blown head gasket cause reduced engine power?

Can a blown head gasket cause reduced engine power?

If the head gasket fails in such a way it allows the compressed air/fuel to escape, the compression of that cylinder is reduced. This loss of compression results in a rough running engine and a notable reduction in engine power. This sort of failure typically is accompanied by a sound like an exhaust leak.

What happens to an engine with a blown head gasket?

Since a head gasket acts as a seal, the moment it blows there will be an immediate loss of pressure in your engine. The coolant may then mix with your motor oil, diluting the oil and reducing your engine’s ability to properly lubricate important parts of your engine, such as your cam shaft or crank bearings.
