    That depends on WHERE the gasket is ripped or torn.

    Depending on the location, you may see NO symptoms, or you may see some of the following:

    -Low water pressure
    -Pulsating water pressure
    -Overheating
    -Exhaust inside cowling
    -Water leaking at adapter plate
    -Poor performance
