I keep loosing coolent causing it to over heat on me. We found that it was leaking from the thermostat so we replaced that, and still over heated. Replaced a few hoses(some cracked due to changing the thermostat) and the radiator, still over heating.

I am blowng white smoke out of the exhaust when I get on the gas(white = coolent?).
From what I've reaserched its either the head gasket or the exhaust gasket.
You guys agree? Any way I can find out for sure if thats the problem or not?



I can't find any place in the engine bay where I'm leaking coolent so I'm out of ideas.. :(:lame:

head gasket, ftw!!
make sure you take your cylinder head to the mchine shop, make sure it holds compression and get it milled.

not necessary to get head milled just needs to be checked to make sure its not warped must be done with precision tools though

Correct. No need to spend da money to get it milled unless da head is warped. Also if u been overheating for a while and u fix da head and it still overheats u probably have a cracked block/cylinder.

you sir probably have a blown head gasket and when you get it done make sure that your head and block is ok
