Default urgent: b20vtec dc4 blowin white smoke

the car temperature fluncates.....and after like 10mins of driving the temp will overheat a bit....we use to turn the heater on and its koo but now it still overheats even with the heater on it blows cold air......white smoke started to puff out the tailpipe......


is it possible that the headgasket is blown or something else is causing it?


replies will greatly appreciated

You say that even with the heater on it blows cold air. It could be possible that your thermostat is stuck closed and not letting the coolant circulate, causing your overheating problem. Also the overheating could have warped the head or blown the head gasket, but what do I know..
