I have this same problem, but there is oil in my coolant overflow bottle. My car is not overheating. The oil is burning and I have white smoke that blows out the tail pipe at high rpms. Some loss of power as well, but no coolant in the oil! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to know if it could be blown head gasket or if it could be seals. I am searching everywhere for an answer. Also I took the high flow pipe off and put a catalytic converter back on!

 

The head gasket is almost surely blown.

 

^agreed

 

Oil in coolant is the most surefire way to tell that you're having a head gasket issue bro...
As well as white smoke.

 

 

When I bought the car from my buddy he said the car had the head gasket replaced a year or two before I bought it from him. The smoke is present when the vtec kicks in. i heard something about valve seals, etc. could I use the blue liquid head gasket repair? or is that a bad way to try and fix it? My car runs and drives fine, just loss of power (not total loss but noticable). I am burning a lot of oil, could it be wear on the pistons and rings? what would be the best fix?

 

Again, the head gasket is the prime suspect. Do cylinder compression leak down tests.

 

how would I do the leak down test? Is there a tool I can rent from the zone? (not sure if I can spell it all the way out still new)

 

Ok so I bought some stuff I'm going to see if it works. If not, then I guess it's time for a new engine!

 

If its just the HG no need for a new motor...just the gasket. Don't band-aid it, that will cause greater problems down the road. Also valve seals wont effect coolant and oil mixing. Its the HG.

 

Cracked sleeve??

 

i hope you didnt get that headgasket fixer **** from walmart that claims it fixes headgaskets, it surely doesnt, it completely ****ed my ls/v in my old teg
