hey guys. running into some trouble with my 92 civic. i've got a rough idle for about 30 seconds till i warm up. along with the roughness is white smoke out the exhaust. check engine light just came on, and my oil is looking the slightest bit milky. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thnx.

 

Sounds like a bad head gasket, cracked head or block.

Post this in the civic section where it goes. You posted in the accord section.

Yes, definitely a blown headgasket.

Change it out asap before the inside of your head is all coated with black thick sludge. I know this because same thing happened to my brother's D16Y8. It's so nasty on the inside when I performed the HG replacement. The car does not overheat at all either.

 

thanks a bunch for your input. i'll find my way to the civic threads.
