so i changed my intake manfiold and the shop did a mistake they plugged a hose thats for the air to one thats sucks in water!i checked my oil and has creamy white stuff guessing its water and the car throws white smoke does this mean my head is gone bad???or whats should i do?

CivicSpoon

You should put the coolant hose to the right place, and do an oil change.

lalocivic

do u think that my head went bad??

lalocivic

whats the worst that could happen???it also throws white smoke!????help plz!!

boxeocampeon

it coule be a blown headgasket but do what civicspoon said first

shawn_crx

take it to the shop and tell them wtf are they doing? Have them fix the problem

lalocivic

so drain the oil how could i know if the headgasket is bad???the shop said thats its not there fault when i know it is they said i probably messed it cuz i have a tuned engine!!!!

boxeocampeon

drain the oil put new oil and fix that hose and see if it fixes the problem. If you continue to have the same thing then its probably the headgasket

lalocivic

my car was running fine it all it did was over heat just a little a little over hald and threw white smoke so if that dosent happen then it should be fine?????

If you can't change out the manifold, I suggest taking it back to the shop.

They fukced it up afterall. You don't seem like you are in any position to be trying to fix this yourself.

And no. Coolant in the combustion chamber IS NOT gonna blow your headgasket. If it is blown its a coincidence or it overheated somehow in the process. But simply having coolant burn off will not. Take it to the shop.

i went to the shop again an they checked and all they said was u have water on ur oil and i told them tell something i dont know they said to check it better i would have to pay and told them to that he was F$%^&% crazy!!well im not really that expierence with cars i noticed they also didnt connect a sensor!i just dont what to do my car is not running good either cuz hoses and sensors arent connected right or my headgasket has gone bad how much is a repair like that?

R666_EK

What a shady shop. They *** **** up and don't even fix their mistakes?

To switch around a couple hoses, hook up some sensors and changing the oil can be done in under an hour.

But a shop will probably charge you at LEAST twice that for labor plus diag.

If you can do it yourself that would be the best, since the shop won't back up their work.

But if you truly can't or don't feel confident I would try another shop.

lalocivic

Dude... CALM DOWN!!!!

change the oil, put the lines back where they belong, and reconect the sensors...

OF COURSE your car is spitting out white smoke... you were running coolant into your combustion chamber... when it burns it makes white smoke.

Chances are everything will be fine when you sort it out... but NO ONE can tell you if it's ok till it's all sorted out.

- Drain the oil
- Make sure no more coolant lines are running into the intake
- reconnect all the sensors
- check the coolant level
- refill the oil

Start the car and let it run for a bit. Check the oil again (you may need to change it twice).

Chances are it's fine.

lalocivic

alright thanks guys im going to drain the oil tonight let it sight all night and tommorow i start fixing all the hoses and sensors i will let you know whats happening!

lalocivic

ok heres what i got so far drained the oil im not sure about the water dosent seem like thers any???so i took of the valve cover the head cylinder looks someone spilled coffe on it???what i dont understand is why is ther water on top and dosent seem to be any in oil i drained out??should i take the oil pan to c if it reached the bottom and if it didnt is that good or bad??

hondatechnics

take it to a NTB ask for the good oil change service. before they start the oil change they put in a liquid emulsifier in to the old oil and run it for a few minutes. so when it drains the emulsifier helps bring out most of the junk/even gunk.

lalocivic

does this mean my headgasket is bad?

R666_EK

Fix the coolant lines refill the oil, run it for a little while and recheck for water.

CivicSpoon

If you're that worried about it, just change the damn thing.

Jimster480

the head is fine. Plug the ****ing hoses into the right place and then change your oil. Hope that your rings havent gone bad. Bye.
