Does Leaking Head gasket affects the running speed of my car?

i got a 1995 BMW 316i and kind of running slow especially if it is a little hilly. If i change the pipe and gasket itself, would that make any big difference to a car?Does Leaking Head gasket affects the running speed of my car?it pays to know why the leak has occurred. do you mean manifold gasket? Head gaskets usually show up blown some 10 days after serious overheating of the motor. if a head gasket, you will lose power, overheat your motor, perhaps lose coolant, contaminate your oil, perhaps warp your head....... If manifold gasket, you will have excess noise, motor overheating, reduced power, perhaps warp your head and/or manifold.....Both faults will reduce top speed, but you shouldn't be using that anyway, but the heat is the biggest problem, and the damage it does. Either way, FIX IMMEDIATELY, %26amp; do NOT drive it far or quickly til it is fixed.

%26quot;The pipe?%26quot; I'm curious as to what you think a head gasket actually is.





Yes, it is possible for it to make your car slower. The head gasket is what contains the pressure inside the combustion chamber. It seals the gap between the cylinder head and the engine block. If that seal is broken, some of the combustion gases can escape, meaning less power gets to the wheels. The difference could be small for a while, or it could be big immediately...but it will be big eventually.
