Okay the other day i just got my new radiator put in and drove my car probably about 25 miles. The car ran fine but when I started it back up after about an hour rest It wouldn't hardly move and white smoke was pouring out of the exhaust. people say my head gasket is warped or cracked? Just wanted the advice of an expert.
I swear to god the quick reply doesn't work anymore.
The symptoms of a blown or warped head gasket is overheating and white smoke. If you just replaced your radiator, then obviously there was something wrong with your cooling system. Motor overheating = blown head gasket. Does this scenario sound like what happened?

more details. did your old radiator crack and your car ran hot? explain the whole situation
edit- nevermind. my connection is waay too slow. oh well. yeah, you need to take your head/block to a reputable machine shop and have them decked (shaved if you want to, but i would suggest no more than .020") and get a new headgasket. good luck
