ok fellas, it's getting bad man :( VIDEO!!!!

[Tony]

i know the white smoke is'nt just condensation.

can someone answer me this? with a pi head swap, is that most likely going to solve any issue that would cause the white smoke? even if it was a head gasket, swapping to pi heads would take car of that right?

also if it was valve seals leaking new heads would take care of that as well right? so repair while upgrading basically.

or is there several other reasons i could be getting this fn white smoke that new heads wont fix? i know i can go get a leak down but dont wanna fuuk with that.

Isn't white smoke usually associated with coolant or water hitting the combustion chambers? Is the crossover on your intake plastic? They crack easily.
Tearing the motor apart and doing a headswap will more than likely solve your issues as long as you find out what was cracked.

My unprofessional opinion would be valve seals man

Sounds like its time for your PI swap. That should cover all possible causes of the white smoke.

 

[Tony]

that's what i am hoping! just didnt know if there were several other causes for getting white smoke.

@ferocious...no i got the aluminum crossover several months ago

time for you to make an effin build thread tony!

^lol

Check ur oil cap is it milky and check ur coolant resivoir to see if oil is mixing with it. You very well could have blown a head gasket. This year may be nice for you with a pi swap that will wake her right up

 

[Tony]

kyle, with a pi swap (just heads and intake) that takes care of any coolant or oil causing smoke?

 

[97FloridaGT]

What's the smoke smell like? Sweet or burnt oil?

 

[chrisv_10]

do a radiator leak test and a compression check.

 

[Musturd]

Yea pressure test the coolant system you'll find it. Did your car get hot at all ?

 

[Tony]

see, i dont wanna take the car to have a bunch of tests and checks if my pi swap will solve most any smoking issues anyway, lol. make sense?

 

[Tony]

Yea pressure test the coolant system you'll find it. Did your car get hot at all ?

no. never overheated. uses a bit of oil. just a little though.

 

[Musturd]

Well the pi swap will fix your issues . You would be getting new head gaskets, intake manifold gaskets etc . So this white smoke your getting wouldn't be there . Pressure testing the coolant system is easy and cheap

 

[RichV]

It's either top end or bottom end. 50-50.

It can be HG, but unless you have severely overheated recently chances are slim. Also, when it's a HG there are other problems IE coolant in oil, oil in coolant, overheating due to overpressurizing of the cooling system, etc. I know on cars with a radiator cap you can smell the inside of the cap and if it smells like exhaust you likely have a HG failure. Also, an HG failure will fail a compression test.

You gotta do a leakdown, it's the only way. If you do pull the heads you should be able to tell by looking at the cylinder walls if your rings are toast.

 

[97FloridaGT]

If it uses oil and doesn't leak anywhere.......

 

[Tony]

i'm getting confused fellas. so doing a head swap may not do any good? could be something in the bottom end causing me to get smoke?

i dont wanna have tests ran if i'm going to fix it anyway by swapping heads (which i plan to do already).

 

[Musturd]

Like i said and rich said see if there's oil in ur coolant and coolant in ur oil

 

[97FloridaGT]

Your oil consumption could be your valve seals...top end. That can be rectified with a PI swap. See if one of the guys on here that is local to you can help you out man. The tests are easy.
