Hey guys newbie here, heres the story. I was runnin a V8 Stang and Camaro and blew a headgasket. People have told me multiple things that could possibly be wrong. I think i jumped the timing. The car started over heating and the antifreeze was boiling. What do you guys think?

im going with the headgasket since its overheating, check ur fluid levels and see if there are "brown" spots on ur oil dipstick..

 

Nah no brown spots. Everything seems to be in order? Im not really sure but i honestly wanna just get rid of it and find something else. Its been sitting cuz i have no time to diagnose it and plus its cold as shi* out here in Baltimore

 

I do need a new dizzy tho. I broke mine. Its been sitting for about 4 months. Anyone have a dizzy for a B18B1? If i get it to run i suppose ill sell it for more.

 

i think that you blew a HG. all you have to do is check the timing marks on the cam gear to see if they match up at TDC. That will tell you if it jumped timing but if you jumped timing it would be idling horribly and low on power depending on how far it jumped. Also, is the car smoking? Check oil to see if there is any white sludge in your dip stick or on the bottom of the oil fill cap.

 

i think your car is ricey as hell

You just said it yourself that you blew your headgasket..
If the headgasket is blown it will blow out white puffy smoke through the exhaust and smell sweet..

O/T Why did you post a pic of your car..Is that supposed to help us answer your question...

 

I got a obd zero dizzy but am looking to trade for an obd-1 I converted my crx to obd1 and I have a new obd0 dizzy let me know if you need it..............Deff sounds alot more like a head gasket then a timing problem...
