Man Demonstrates Northstar V-8 Head Gasket Failure and Overheating
A viral video shows a car on fire due to a Northstar V-8 engine's head gasket failure, a common issue caused by head bolt stretching that leads to overheating and engine damage. The Northstar V-8, produced from 1993 to 2011 and used mainly in Cadillac models, is known for its complexity and luxury performance but also for head gasket problems resulting in symptoms like overheating, white smoke, and milky oil. Drivers are advised to watch for these signs and perform tests to prevent engine failure and potential fires.
