Ok guys I was leaving the store a while ago and when I pulled out and got on the main street I had to punch the gas because some idiot decided he wanted to change lanes at the last second. When I shifted from 1st to 2nd a cloud of smoke shot into my car through the vents, I took my foot off the gas and then gave about 1/4 throttle---no smoke? Drove fine the rest of the way home untill I was about a block from my house, I could'nt resist and I tried it again with the same results . Got home, left the car on, popped the hood and nothin . Opened the throttle a couple of times with my hand and BINGO, there it was, flying out the goddamn breather filter on my valve cover. WTF does this mean? Sorry for the long post guys I'm just pissed. Somebody please tell me this means nothing.

 

Wow sorry dude, bye bye rings

 

Smoke or steam? Sounds like a B-Lown headgasket to me. Check for oil/coolant mixture in your oil cap/dipstick/under the valve cover/radiator cap.

 

Yep, one of the above. Sorry can't tell you it doesn't mean nothing.

True, but I just couldn't. I can't be mean like that, and say that its normal and say that is what all the cool guys do these days. It lets everyone know you car is turboed and running top notch.

 

Difinitely the ring are gone, same **** happen to me

 

F**K!!!! I thought it was the rings,just didnt want to here it. Its happen before, about 3 years ago. If I don't ride her about how much longer does she have to live?? Any body want to sell me a block?

 

was your engine warmed up? if not, thats might be your problem. the rings havent expanded enough, so your not geting a good seal.

probably not though, cause it was still like that when you got home.

 

Did it look like this?

 

Yeah she was warm. I drove from work to the store, the from the store to my house. How much do you think I can get a used short block for?

 

The first time yeah, this time Its not that bad. WTF happened there Mase? The first time I would just turn the car on and it looked like that, a big *** cloud would come out the muffler too. This time only when I open her up pretty good it will let out the James Bond smoke screen.

 

^ouch

Did that guy rubbing his head know there was a smoke bomb in there? If he didnt I bet he sharted in his pants.

he was like 50 feet away when i lit it, he came running, as soon as he smelled it he knew....

that pic is fake, he made that gesture on purpose, but still a great pic. haha

 

I have purchased D blocks for as little as $20, that's why they are the best.

Yea i loved that about my old sohc wonders. Blew it up? No worries 1/2 a day and $50 later you got a whole new motor!



liam

 

Mase that **** aint right. I never thought of that before but now some people are gonna get it. Sorry to steal the idea but that is too damn funny. Yeah just get a used block somewhere they're cheap as hell.

 

Thanx 4 all the replies guys but does anybody know how long it'll hold up? I pretty much just drive it to work and back. It only takes me 10-20min to get to work depending on traffic. If I drive it normal without putting into boost will it last a couple of weeks untill I can source another block( or pull mine and build the internals ) and swap em out?

 

I miyself wouldn't do it but that's me. You could take a chance on ******* other **** up and making your problems even worse.

 

smoke bomb. haha, never thought of that one.
