sorry kinda long but please help! ive has this motor for about 6 months now, its a gsr head, with a b18c block, my fritend put it together torqued it down and everything. ok about 2 weeks ago i noticed some oil along the block, not much but noticeable, i didnt have the time or the answers to fix it. i could tell that it was comming in between where the head and the block meet, at the headgasket. then about a week later i took it to the runs where i ran it a few times my coolant temp on the odomometer skyrocketed to like 7/8 of the guage. i left slowly home keeping an eye on the temp guage, i made it home. a couple days after that i looked again at the leak and it was way more than it was b4, but it wasnt crazy, but it was leaking everywhere along the side of the headgasket, but i ignored that too. then yesterday while on the free way it overheated again but this time, i saw white smoke come out of my car form my rear view mirror, i pulled over to the nearest gastation. bought some coolant and water put it in bec i could tell it was low. it was ok the way back home, but today i could see the coolant comming out of the headgasket! what too do! thnks fer reading.

 

replace the headgasket, and carefully torque the head down to spec.

 

Your headgaskets fucked.. its letting coolant and water into the cyclinder and its burning thats why you get the white smoke. Change the gasket and hope the metal isnt warped.. Check your oil and see if its watery.. if it is change it. Take out a spark plug and see if you see water inside.

 

thnks!

 

maybe you installed it backwards?

 

hwo do u know its on backwards?
