Why is my Peugeot head gasket not working?
This happens when the head has developed a crack or if the head gasket is leaking. The repair shop which replaced the head gasket might not have pressure tested the head or checked it for flatness in which case a repeat failure is not surprising. The other possibility is that the head had a crack which was not detected.
What should I use to seal my head gasket?

Where is the head gasket on a V-8 engine?
The head gasket is found between the engine block and the cylinder head or heads in a V-type engine. The gasket functions as a seal that prevents the combustion process from leaking into the coolant passages that surround each cylinder. In many cases, it seals oil passages from coolant passages so the fluids do not mix.
What happens when you put a head gasket on a car?
When the pedal is pressed (hard) the engine spins faster, meaning there is more compression per minute as well as more cooling that needs to take place. Due to the increase in coolant pressure, the coolant leaks past the blown head gasket into the cylinders and burns with the gas, throwing out white smoke. Thanks!

Can a head gasket be blown on a diesel?
