soo this is my situation.

my crx was sitting for a few months and i started it up a month ago and it was smoking big time out of the exhaust, the smoke was kinda blueish soo i thought it was the headgasket.

So I replaced the headgasket and got new bolts and seals for the top end, and the smoking went away after about an hour. I re-torqued the head 2 days ago and just today, and the smoke came back stronger then ever! and the car lost all its bottom end power under 2000rpms.

any ideas? help? advice? anything? im soo frustrated!

 

Leak down test.

That's what happens when you fail to diagnose the problem properly and guess at what could be wrong.

 

thats the only way coolant can get into the combustion chamber.

and i dont have a compression tester
