Coolant keeps disappearing fill it up drive for awhile then car overheats radiator is empty doesn't leak wtf where could it go ???
Air bubbles, blown headgasket?????

 

A blown head gasket will form bubbles in the coolant if that is the leak path. Are you blowing excessive white smoke from the exhaust? Does your overflow bottle leak? Is the hose leading to the overflow cracked?

 

Overflow is fine, Don't know bout the white smoke ill check today.. How do I check for air bubbles in the coolant???

 

Let the car cool, open the rad cap, and start it. If it is bubbling, that is from gasses entering the system through the blown gasket.

 

ok so fill up the radiator since its empty then take off the cap and start the car?

 

Yes.

You can also pressure test the radiator system. A compression test will also provide insight on the condition of a head gasket.

 

kk so took off the cap no bubbles car has slight white smoke not much could it be slightly blown or somthing its running right now will post again if it overheats...

 

headgasket could have a slight leak, also possible cracked cylinder liner, or head crack......you need to due a coolant system presure test, and most likely the head is coming off...sorry

 

Hmmm no problem already taken it off 4 times
How do you do a coolant pressure test any links???

 

Welp found problem Headgasket is blown
Yay get to take the head off again

 

How bad did you overheat it. I never....ever see metal gaskets "blow" unless the car was really overheated bad for whatever reason. Then at that point the head is usually warped 5-10 thousandths also

 

here it is.. smokin away after a big poof of white smoke came out on the highway.. time for a new head gasket i suppose..

 

Different, BIGGER Pic.. enjoy.. and yes thats an intercooler.. im waiting till this biatch runs correct again to boost again..

Well.. since i have gay *** indiglo's on there, the needle isnt lit up.. so when i noticed that it was on H i immediatly pulled over.. popped the hood and let it rest.. the reason its Fucked up.. is because we've use the same "Shucks" HeadGasket&lt;&lt;1st problem&gt;&gt; like 3 times.. and the 2nd time we put it on we put it on backwards so i started it up... and lost about 3 qts of oil.. i'm SURE thats not good for it.. so i am ordering a OEM one tomorrow through a hook up at Acura.. if this doesnt fix it.. im tired of this car.. and am about to sell as is.. lol.. its been like 2 Months of straight work.. mostly waiting on parts..

 

RAWR

 

"use the same "Shucks" HeadGasket&lt;&lt;1st problem&gt;&gt; like 3 times.. "
