Head Gasket

Post by **coolcloo1019** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 6:45 am

Alright, I think that my head gasket is gone. I've been having sputtering problems a lot and white smoke. But the thing is, I compression checked it and all the cylinders are between 140-150 which isnt too bad. But I checked my oil today and it was milky

. So I'm thinking it is the gasket. Also I am losing coolant. Have to put more water in every 50-60 miles because it starts to overheat. Anyone have any ideas besides mine? Thanks

Considering that this is a SOHC you probablyt have had chain noise. This is significant because the sohc chains like to rub holes in the coolant passages of the front cover. Pull your front cover and look for holes. Also, do not drive the car with coolant in the oil! It will trash your bottom end
