I think i got a BIG problem with my engine

[thienthan]

when i first start my car its fine. after a min of idling white smoke start coming out the tail pipe and some liquid driping too. i did a compression test and it came out 120/125/130/130. i check the oil and its kinda milky white and and inch and half above the high mark. i'm thinking the coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber. what do you guys think??and have anybody have this problem??

[madizm620]

Yeah you got a blown head gasket for sure.

[teddy]

Low compression numbers, burning white smoke(coolant), coolant in the oil = Headgasket went bye bye

I'd say coolant too.

[thienthan]

wha do you mean coolant too?

[Ni2s4s0aSnX]

Too. As in I agree with the others on the matter.

[thienthan]

[ddgsxr504]

Nope, it's just a warning to let you know to start saving for a new engine.

Yes....replace your headgasket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thienthan]

i just need to know if thats the problem and chnging it will fix it.

[VanNelson]

Yea, fix it now.I didn't and....well...I need a new cylinder head (750$ new, 400$ used)A new head gasket costs what...forty bucks? Cheaper than replacing a god forsaken warped cylinder head...

Thats for a '93 240. Make sure you get the right one.

make sure you take note of all the torque numbers when you do it. it is very important as is the order in which the head bolts are tightened.
