Hi eveyone I'm new to the fourms here.

I have a 95 integra gsr with an apex N1 exhaust, V2 intake and DC 4-1 ss headers and since I installed the headers smoke has been comming out of of my exhaust. Its not blue so I know that its not oil burning. The headers were the last thing that I installed and it never smoked until they went in. Could it be that its because they're breaking in (headers have 1000 miles on them now, i woud think that they have broken in by now)

If anyone has any ideas that would help I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

 

is the smoke white and does it smell sweet?

 

Kinda white sometimes kinda black other times, but I havent had the sweet smell since the first week I had the exhaust on.

 

your coolant is not low is it?

 

let me go check, that question makes me kinda nervous...

 

uhhh...yeah it is. Well give me the bad news.

 

blown head gasket.
"could" be something else. most likely its the head.
were you racing?

 

Ah, crap thats what i was afraid of. I've been running it kinda hard lately.

What does something like that cost to repair if thats the case?

 

average shop will charge near $1200.
hey, your in savage, my uncle has a garage in blaine, ill hook you up with a good price.

 

yeah thats about right. you have to make sure that your head is not warped, its like a $60 part, if that... its just labor is a bitch. i bought my teggie with a blown head gasket and warped head (among other problems) cost me $800 to fix with a low labor cost, and cheap head milling, sorry to hear your tegs in pain.
