ive search but im getting different answers,

ok heres the deal its stock b16a w/ garrett turbo @7 psi, after about a week of boosting my car started blowing white smoke off the muffler, one thing i notice though after about 30 minutes of driving the car starts to bog and hesitates, i havent been driving it at all for about a week, when i checked my oil cap last monday, i saw a milky brown"peanut buttery stuff" build up under the cap. i know im loosing coolant. i checked my dip stick and it looked normal to me. also my car seems to idle ok. now heres my questions.

a. do you guys think the piston rings are gone.
b. could it be a cracked sleeve.
c. will a compression check determine this

i need your input on this one. thanks for any info.


please no flaming im not a newbie.

Best bet would be HG.How old was it?

seems to me its the HG I've seen it before the peanut butter that is....hehe

You can't re-use the head gasket.It seems like you may have to take off the head to find out. Use a copper or metal HG for boost.

leak down test to check rings and compression test should definately be done to check head gasket.
