I believe i have a blown headgasket, i'm pressurizing my system currently and will test it by cranking the engine with a paper towel laid over the spark plug holes, any water will shoot on the paper towel, but if it's pouring fuel in, i won't be able to tell. My idea is removing the ECU fuse as the best method, correct?

 

Yea remove the fuel pump fuse

 

Remove the fuel pump fuse, ecu fuse, ecu, or disconnect your injector wires.

 

juist remove the ecu fuse

 

fuse # 31 under hood fuse block.

 

ECU fuse does it, i hadn't gotten a reply as soon as i thought i would so i tried it anyway because i was 99% sure that'd do it. Head gasket seems good from that test, car pulls hard as hell for 8.5 compression, i beat a bolt-on H22A Civic with ease at 10psi (D16Z6), so i can't explain all the smoke (it's a very large amount) out my exhaust and coolant loss, might just be a coincidence and the two aren't related.

Don't do that, you'll risk damaging your ignition coil.

Doing all that he's better off just pulling the ECU fuse.

Or did I miss out on some internet sarcasm?
