Re: Prelude problem
Does the smoke smell sweet? Does it get worse when you rev it up? Are there bubbles showing up in your radiator? If it does more than likely it is a blown head gasket.

Re: Prelude problem
It smells a little bit...I haven't checked the radiator yet. If it is the head gasket, how much it takes to fix that?

Re: Prelude problem
If you can do the work yourself its gonna take time and parts, and you should have the head milled flat as well as check the block to make sure its flat. To do it yourself it would be probably 3-400 in parts. To have a shop do it, Im thinking it will cost closer to 900 or more. Im not too sure.
