Two problems related to blown head gasket have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier based on all problems reported for the 2000 Cavalier.
Head gasket blew at only 50320 miles, allowing antifreeze to enter the engine block and flood cylinder heads and spark plugs, warping them to the point where they had to be rebuilt, in addition due to lack of antifreeze, car overheated almost to the point of catching fire, seizing the engine. This came with no warning, and no sign of leakage as antifreeze leaked into engine rather than onto ground. Car broke down in the middle lane of a busy intersection while stopped at a light causing a traffic obstacle during morning rush hour.
Engine was cracked. Technician stated head gasket was blown. Please provide further information.
