Hey guys thanks for viewing this post. So this is the first Camaro I own and so far im loving it. Its a 1995 Z28 6 speed. I was on the freeway and noticed that the car was overheating, so I exited and got the car towed back home. The following day I topped off the radiator and turned the car on. There was alot of white smoke coming from the tailpipes and the temperature gauge went up/overheated in a matter of 2 minutes. I have checked the oil and there is no water in it. I was thinking that the water is not circulating? Please any input would help greatly. I put a new thermostat thinking it had stopped working but this did not help. I have since turned the car on a couple more times this time alot less smoke at the start then after a minute smoke goes away but overheats in about 3 minutes. Thanks guys.

 

first get all the air out. with reverse cooling in the lt1 steaming can happen with very little air in the system. have a look here https://camaroforums.com/forum/lt1-l...-system-66742/

 

You just got the car? From who? When you take the oil lid off what does it look like under the top? Might be a blown head gasket BUT if it’s not. Maybe it needs new radiator… I assume you are using antifreeze? Thermostat changed…. Did you also remember to bleed the system to get the air out when you installed thermostat? Could also be the water pump. Hope this helps
