A head gasket leaking coolant into a cylinder can foul the spark plug, and create a lot of white smoke in the exhaust. Adding sealer to the cooling system may plug the leak if it is not too bad, but eventually the head gasket will have to be replaced....
You may be able to stop a leak in your boat. You can patch the hole with towels and fabrics, and you can pump the water out of your boat. If your boat is taking on too much water, make a mayday call immediately. If you can still maneuver it, try to aim it toward la...
Turbochargers, which use compressed air from the car's exhaust system, compress the air that's used in the combustion cycle. The compressed air leads to more efficient combustion. Variable-valve timing and cylinder deactivation are technologies that allow the engine to use only the fuel it needs...
Installing liquid cooling on your CPU can transform your system’s thermal performance and reliability while adding a premium aesthetic to your build. Whether you’re upgrading from an air cooler or building a new system, this comprehensive guide will walk you through how to install an AIO CPU ...
I think of these probably-defunct devices as my own rough equivalent of nuclear waste, but instead of radioactive isotopes they may hold old personal data that I don’t want to see leak out. That’s “may” because unlike spent reactor fuel that we know has to be kept safe, these gadg...
Coolant Leak: Crack in the Cylinder Head, Engine Block or Head Gasket While a cracked coolant reservoir tank is rare, when most mechanics hear about thicksmoke coming out of exhaust, they would assume the worst. That is usually due to a crack in the cylinder head, head gasket or engine ...

Open doors between rooms to increase circulation, which carries heat to cold surfaces. Increase air circulation by using fans and by moving furniture away from wall corners. Preventing mold in the kitchen Use exhaust fans to move moisture outside (not into the attic) whenever you are cooking, ...
When coolant is being burnt inside the combustion chamber due to a blown head gasket the exhaust system will produce "white smoke" or "steam" from the car's tailpipe, and it will have a pungent smell. This smoke should not be confused with engine cold start steam which dissipates after ...
Doors and walls can be added to the layout to further direct airflow.Cabinets should be as full as possibleto avoid empty spaces, gaps and cable openings that can leak hot or cold air into the opposite aisle, causing the cooling system to work overtime. ...
