still losing coolant, need help asap!!!1
ok i got my tranny in on friday and filled up the coolant to the top and checked everything. after running for a couple of minutes it started smoke from my exhaust and saturday morning i checked my coolant and its at almost empty and there are no leaks. now im thinking that it could be a headgasket, what would u guys say. i posted my leakdow test results and cyl 3 is at 60% the others are fine at 10-20%. cyl 3 also has the lowest compression of all four but its still at 195 and the others are at 200 and 205. i dont want to rip apart my head and then that not be problem. what would u guys suggest?

smoking white is burning coolant. the only place that the coolant can leave the water jackets and enter the combustion chamber is the seal between the head and block (headgasket) A new one is needed..

it's not terribly hard, get a new HG and Hondabond from Honda, grab a chilton or helms manual and it will break it down pretty easy for you.
