my car has been sitting for a while and i started the car and left it running so all the old gas will run out and go through so that i could put new gas in as i change the oil and such....

the car was running for about 10-15 minutes and i started seeing smoke and smelling something sweet..? shut the car off, popped the hood and the coolant resivoir is bubble with coolant.

what could it be? and what could i do? please help?

 

Sound's like a headgasket especially with that antifreeze passing through the muffler system that's the sweet smell...

 

i havent smelt it through the exhaust i just smelled it coming from under the hood.

 

White smoke??

 

Sounds like a head gasket to me too, but go through the list before buying parts, inspect the radiator itself, as well as the hoses and cap, thermostat and all related gaskets, if they all look good, then it may be time to bust out the torque wrench and replace that bitch

 

yeah.

 

damn. well i guess i really am going to have to look into the k24 swap i was thinking about doing.


but thanks. i'll run through the list and check everything out.

 

If your name is for real on your age stay away from the Kswap unless daddy has Reaaallllly deep pockets, it looks alot cheaper and easier than it is,

 

lol yeah...

daddy is just sitting back and watching. its all on my own. i know alot of ppl that are helping me out and everything else.


a buddy of mine i knew when i was young started is own business and everything (wootparts.com)


i'm suppose to get a k24 motor and tranny for a grand...
