well there is few very small dots of what looks to be oil floating on top of the resivoir, i was told not to be worried that oil will sit at the bottem of the resivoir so its not oil, well im still very worried i see no smoke comming from the exhust and seems to idel fine plus the temp looks to be in good shape, the car performs like what it regularly does with no noises and no smoke what can it be? im running a 10 psi pulley (9psi at 8500 rpm) vortech sc with a fulley tuned hondata s200 and running a duty cycle of 60 percent at 8500 rpm on 720 cc injectors i was wondering how i can make sure its not the motor and maybe i threw in some old coolent from my old car? please help!!

your headgasket has taken a ****

i do burn some oil but no coolent, iam pushing 300whp but i now dont see any types of oil spots, they were about a ball point size oil spots floating may be about a dozen of them floting but not any more, so im kinda puzzled. the car runs fine no over heating, no bad idling problems, not really a sign of head gasket problem.

Blowensi

and thanks alot irev cuse everyone assumes its the head gasket, and helps me to be in relife of what you said.

hrm

well try this, remove and empty out the coolant in the resevour

Then fill it back up with regular water ( if you live in a place where it doesnt freeze)

Then see if the spots come back.

keep us posted.

Your oil will float at the top of the water due to its lower density......

i did a radiator flush now everything is clean and no signs of head gasket problem

deepnite

one of the sign s of a bad headgasket is bubbles in ur oil besides seeing in ur water

if its a gasket problem and ur losing oil i really doubt u have a oil burning problem..the oil is going out ur tailpipe

there s stuff on the market now..ive seen it advirtise d..that ll seal small leaks in the gasket

That's a terrible way to check for a blown headgasket because you'll also get bubbles in your oil if you overfill it.

Nothing's going to seal a leak between an oil journal and a coolant pocket. I work for Valvoline and do this **** for a living. You'd know if your headgasket was blown, mainly because you'd be billowing white smoke and losing coolant (not oil, retards) like a motherbitch.

No more listening to the asshat noobies, they don't know ****.

^ I'm a noobie too, but that was damn funny...

Blowensi

thanks arch, everyone is like saing its head gasket but i drained the old coolent and then filled with some new stuff and looks to be ok, but your knowledge has helped me to get some weight off my shoulders.

irev210

yah i dunno why people are so quick to assume that its a blown headgasket


assess before you diagnose.

my del sol started blowing hella white smoke and overheating so i left it in the garage for a week untill i could get my mechanic to look at it and yesterday he came, we turned on the car and it was normal no white smoke ran at good temp. what could have caused it to just go away?

Sephiroth
