Ive blown my head gasket. My car overheated and I was forced to drive it a little further to get it to a gas station. Unfortunately I have white smoke coming from my exhaust.

I searched on this site and could not find a how to with pictures on changing out a head gasket. Im very visual so its helps.

Anyone know? different site?

Thanks in advance

good howto

expletive the how-to.

Your head's probably warped to ****. Your engine needs work. Machine work. You can't just blow a head gasket, drive it around, then replace it. Especially if it's been around for awhile (I'd say anything 100k+ is eligible for head warpage on replacement, but on a BLOWN head gasket it's warped 9 times out of 10).

Your head needs to be milled down to flatten it out - then a new head gasket can be installed.

Don't just replace the headgasket because it won't lay flat hence: Doing nothing.

Listen to Syndacate, theres no point in doing the headgasket without machinework then having it leak. Do it right the first time.

Thanks for the link and the advice.

I will try to find a place where they can resurface the head.

Ill try to do the best I can to replace the gasket since I dont have $700 to fix it.

Thanks for all your help!
