Ok finally started up my fresly built b18c1 engine...I broke it in hard with no boost on stock injectors...after driving around for a while...i smell this sweet smell...first thing that came to my mind is crap im buring coolant!

Theres a very very faint white smoke out the exhaust under idle..during driving cant really see it...I checked the plugs and they are very clean! and i checked down the chamber and see that the piston tops are faintly wet and they are pretty clean...All my plugs are clean! super clean...

I used rebore golden eagale stock gasket with copper spray, reusing AEBS headstuds for 2nd time, torqued down to correct specs in the correct sequence...i dont see how the hell this can be...Machine shops says there is no warpage in the block and head and that its straight...

i dunno sorry this was long..but im frustrated right now...sumone reccommend me the Bars Leak Glass seal repair...any ideas anyone???

 

have you checked your heater core if its leaking? also did you deck or resurfaced the head

 

the deck/head was resurfaced on my last build, i only drove it around for 10k and my head gasket blew on me, i had the machine shops doubled check the surfaces and they said it was fine...my head lifted on high boost

also i did spilled coolant in my engine...the bottom rad hose going to the thermostat i overlooked the clamp on the block side, and it bursted off...what a sight that was..but maybe im being parnoid and its the coolant left over that i didnt get to burning off?? how long does it take for it clear off ur motor?

I also learned sumthing new to..valvoline oil smells sweet right out of the bottle...so maybe im smelling the gases off that going to the catch can and vavle cover beather...

 

coolant smell last for a while until you wash it off

 

I wouldn't go by what you smell and smells can linger and we don't exactly have the keenest noses. Are you loosign coolant? Are you loosing oil? That's what you shoudl check.....if yes, use a UV light to find out where.
