how to tell when headgasket is blown
 
what symptoms do you look for to know for sure if a headgasket is bolown on your car or not, what are some checks you can do?

xplizitremix 12-03-2007 09:13 PM

your blowing alot of white smoke out of the back of your exhaust

white smoke out the exhaust, overheating, coolant bubbling in the reservoir, coolant mixing with engine oil, coolant and/or oil leaking externally between head and block.

any of those symptoms can be a bad head gasket.
