possible head lift?
Bare with me guys.
Alright, ARP head studs, golden eagle head gasket, kms block gaurd(with the holes in it for coolant,, the out edge of the block guard is knotchedm the holes are within. Head is torque at 65 ft. lbs
car has been running great, tonite running awesome, went for a little spirited drive down the freeway and we got off maybe 2 miles max, like 4th, 5th gear mostly, got on getting on the on ramp. and i was letting it idle and cool down and i noticed im just puffing out white *** smoke like no other, looks like im on fire, and drove it around the lot and just smoke everywhere. Turn it off open the hood, my coolant overflow is like empty. started it back up and i have a breather filter on the valve cover, and smoke is coming out that also. THe smoke is white, no blue, nothing else. Doesnt have signs of a blown head gasket. no antifreeze in the oil, no oil in the overflow tank, just empty coolant. Does this sound like head lift??
If this does sound like head lift can i torque higher and solve it or head off again new gasket.
Thanks fors bearing with me.
