head gasket. good or bad??
I just seafoamed my car and put it through the brake booster. While i was cranking my car to start, smoke was coming out from under the head( Or so i was told by my friend who was watching. Im pretty sure this means i have a leak in my head gasket. But i just want to make sure before i take off the head etc and too find out that my gasket is fine. thanks

Don't believe what your friend said... try it again and look for yourself to see what's going on. Chances are, he was wrong.
When you use seafoam, typically smoke goes everywhere. Perhaps smoke came out the tailpipe and blew underneathe the car from the wind or whatever and then rose up through the engine bay. Or maybe you have an exhaust leak and he think's it was coming from the head but really it came from between the downpipe and catalytic converter. IDK, take a second look.
