Caterpillar C15, Common Signs of Caterpillar C15 Head Gasket Failure – and How Matto Gasket Provides the Solution
The Caterpillar C15 is one of the most widely used heavy-duty diesel engines in the world. Found in dozers, wheel loaders, pavers, and mining trucks, the C15 is built for high horsepower and reliability. However, its extreme operating conditions often lead to head gasket wear and failure.
Common Signs of C15 Head Gasket Failure
- Overheating under heavy load
- Coolant leaking into the combustion chamber, causing white exhaust smoke
- Oil contamination when coolant mixes with engine oil
- Loss of compression and reduced engine performance
- Frequent need to re-torque head bolts due to sealing weakness
