Cordell Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/th_CIMG0019.jpg So this is the pass it broke, but after watching it and thinking about it I'm wondering about it. Obviously I'll have to take it apart, but it didn't get lean and only smoked white smoke after I let off at the end. Head gasket? who knows just thought I'd share. Sorry vids with our digital camara sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 White smoke.. possibly coolant... head gasket is definitely a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Tripod yeah, my wife was having a hard time with the little camera. It was designed to take pics and the display isn't easy to use for vids, but it was a gift so oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 We'll just have to see. I want to know for sure what it is, but yes I wouldn't be just putting the stock heads back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I think you did more then just push a gasket. I am betting hole in the piston. Hope its just a easy fix of a gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I agree sounds like headgasket took a shit. If plugs look ok then pistons and rings should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I don't think it's a gasket. I went out this morning and found oil dripping out of the header collector. Pulled the plugs on the driver's side, and well there wasn't much left. Cylinders 1 and 3 had no ground strap or electrode on them. So its looking like I won't be in the stock bottom end class anymore. I don't even feel like working on it right now. I'll get the heads off in a week or two and post up some pics. That's Racin'.
