Urgent Help Needed: Headgasket?
I have a 90 CRX with a B16a. Today I was sitting in a parking lot with my friend and he noticed some white smoke coming form my exhaust. It was slightly colder than usual so I didnt think about it. I decided to check things out just in case. I found that my oil had bubbles in it. I let it settle and I could see clear liquid on the dipstick slowly fading to actual oil on the bottom. I looked at my coolant at the top of the raditator and it looks normal. Do you think its my headgasket? I need my car so I pretty need to know so I can fix it tomorrow.
Ok, Nobody had a head gasket in stock. I looked at my oil this morning and it looked fine on the dipstick so I drained it and there is like no coolant in there at all. There are a few bubbles but thats it. I think I may know where the white smoke was coming from but Im not sure. My fuel pressure got fucked up and I was running extremly rich, like 50+ psi. I got that fixed and I put fuel system cleaner in my gas to get rid of some of the carbon that I know must have been building up from the fuel. I think the white smoke was just the carbon burning off. Does that make sense or am I dumb?
Oil looks fine. How much smoke was coming out? Drain the radiator fluid too, might as well. How does it act after changing the fuel pressure and driving around for a while?
