hey guys i thought i blew a head gasket on my civic so i replaced the head gasket (the chamber will filled with water)and its still smoking.so i pulled the plugs and they were dry.what else could it be.but ill shut the car off for about 10 20 minutes and then start it again and it wont smoke until i give it gas.what else could it be im stumped?

 

Did U leave the camber filled with Water?

 

Is it water or antifreeze, and what color is the smoke?

 

no when i had the head off i blew it out and got all the water and coolant out of the chamber its white smoke.

 

Did you check the head to see if it was warped prior to changing the gasket?

 

i had it sent out the said it was fine but if the head was warped or cracked dont you think there would be coolant and water int he chambers again and the plugs would be wet

It depends on how hot the remaining 3 firing plugs got.

 

What motor is this and is there anything done to it? Boost Ext.

 

i pulled all 4 plugs and they all looked the same little carboned up thats it so i cleaned them and put them back in and pulled them and they were carboned i know its running rich so.

Good question!

I didn't think about a coolant line leaking into the turbo.

 

d15b7 rebuilt not boosted yet but little things done like plugs wires cap coil

My thoughts as well go to warpage, get it milled at minimum maybe .010 or .020 and see what that does, should only run like $35.

 

yea but if its warped there should be water in the chambers and i can pull the plugs and stick a screw driver in there and its dry

 

No smart a$$ my GSR is boosted and my cousin broke my oil return line and it caused white smoke to come out so i changed my head gasket well started it back up and still did it cause my oil line. Im just tryin to help him out and any info would help me know more about his car we dont need smart a$$'s if your not going to help him

Hows that theres no coolant lines running to a turbo so u were trying to be funny which wasnt

 

It depends how much its warped, if its not too much it may just be enough to vaporize in the combustion chamber while the car is on under pressure, and not enough to really just leak.

 

he has a point gary there is nothing to do with coolant with a turbo its oil and exhaust

It depends on which turbo you use; it's not like there's on turbo in the world and we all have to use it.

I wasn't trying to be funny, as I said I was being sincere and trying to help. You seriously need to lighten the **** up.

I would try what hes saying and check the head gasket make sure its all clean and hope it does blow white stuff

 

true all i know is if the head comes off again im just doing a mini me swap or something

 

Im not being a smart a$$ but if you run a dsm turbo, you may very well have coolant lines running to turbo, b/c they're both coolant + oil lubrcated and cooled.

This is what I'm talking about. I wasn't being a dick, but rather trying to help.

 

im not trying to say your wrong about the warped head but when i started it before the new h/g it would smoke up the block lol and now its not half as bad it will take like 5 minutes to fill up my garage.
