SCHM1AN Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I got home today and noticed some white smoke coming out the back of the car, so I'm thinking that along with whatever ringland issues may be present, there's a blown headgasket too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I doubt its the head gasket. Has it been overheating? My guess is good ol ringland #4. Leakdown test ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 White smoke indicates coolant. You may have a possible blown head gasket. Keep an eye on your coolant levels to determine any loss. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Once it's warmed up, CAREFULLY remove the radiator cap and see if it is bubbling and carefully smell the coolant. You may be able to actually smell exhaust fumes in the coolant. There is a Lisle tool that you can purchase at most auto parts stores (for generally much more money than the link at the bottom here) that will tell you if there is carbon monoxide (exhaust) in the coolant, which in almost all cases tells you that you have a blown HG or possible even a cracked head. It's easy to use and the instructions on it are pretty self explanatory. It will immediately tell you if there is exhaust in the coolant by changing the fluid from blue to yellow. Here is a link to purchase one: http://www.tooltopia.com/lisle-75500.aspx?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=LIS75500&utm_campaign=googlebase_18u&gclid=CLzSj-Scy7YCFe1aMgod1SoAEg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
