)
car has 800 miles on it, is tuned perfect

84mm bore, cometic headgasket
high cr, cp pistons, honda bearings

everyone has told me the car is 100% broken in now

its been running great and super strong
all of the sudden lots of white smoke from the tail
and some in the front too, im talkin LOTS of white smoke, it smells sweet like coolent, i turn it off and here i am (AAA picked me up)

do a compression test but signs point to a head gasket
check if your oil looks like mud....

worse case scenario theres something internally worng but youll find out if you change the head gasket and your cylinders are scratched or cracked.....

i went through 2 head gaskets last year....
....stock b20 gaskets are good if you have a sleeved ls block

JBBNJ609

dart sleeved gsr block

take a sparks plug and check if there is coolant inside the hole....im pretty sure its your head gasket...TIME FOR COMPRESSION CHECK!!&gt;&gt; if not might be ur rings..did u used synthetic oil...while ur breaking it in??

I would hope its a gasket. ive seen this happen to b20's, and it had the symptoms you described, but i would hope not a dart sleeved block.

i broke it in perfectly, i trailered it to the tuner, my a/f ratio was perfect, i had a wideband, i was watching it, i used none synthetic, but i did get on it a little bit, im thinking / hopeing its just the headgasket ( i hear cometic sucks kinda)
i was thinking a sunk/dropped sleeve but its the dart T sleeves and they cant really drop/sink im not running boost, im not running ultra high CR and everythign was tuned well idk what to do
atleast with 800 miles on it , its still semi covered by my builder

sounds weird but could be headgasket related. anything up yet ?

JBBNJ609

i just pushed it into my driveway, i opened my oil cap, and on the cap(inside) its frothy and like light brownish ( oil mixed with coolent) i'll be draining fluids tommarrow if its not raining, thanks for your help everyone

JBBNJ609

Tbone

JBBNJ609

Sounds like a blown head gasket.

92TypeR

GE headgaskets are nice. Hopefully thats all it is

JBBNJ609

is the GE headgaskets better then stock ? just wondering because i hear stock is pretty good sometimes

i drained oil, its bubbley and has green (antifreeze) at bottom of container
btw the oil that is pictured only has about 75 miles on it since it was changed

drained coolent, smells like gas/oil and is a bit dark


i did a compression test, i got to cycl one ( the one on the crank pulley side)

the tester when straight to 300 psi and shot some whiteish fluid up, then i stopped, hit the bleeder on the copression tester and it shot white fluid on my windshield and the needle wont go any lower then 30 psi (blown valve in tester)
there is creamy white **** on my cam caps or right after you take off the valve cover ( pics \/)
here is some pics:












i cant even do a compression test to see if things are ok . . . idk is that **** going to 300 psi and shooting white **** out normal ?

PAndADc2

when u took the valve cover out is there any underneath it???like white stuff?

PAndADc2

when my cuzzin blew his headgasket..took the valve cover out..and u see the "milkshake" white creamy sh*t underneath the valve cover

non-VTEC

you deffinatly blew a headgasket........replace it with a OEM B20 headgasket.

the only thing the cometic gaskets are good for is toilet paper....

JBBNJ609

i think im gonna buy the golden eagle one, everyone including my tuner is telling me to buy that.

yea it did look alittle milkyish when i took the valve cover and all seals off

LSVTEC 91 Civic
