What a blown TDI head gasket looks like.

A lot of people are wondering what a blown head gasket would look like when you actually pull it.

This particular engine had symptoms of excessive smoking and oil consumption. It was also pushing large amounts of gases through the oil cap.

You can see that it blew the head gasket at the fire ring and then made it way to the oil galley for the push rod. This engine was literally running off of it own engine oil.

This one happens to be the most excessive blow I've ever seen in this fashion so I figured I would post it
