well my car needs some parts
My car lets out blueish white smoke and i was told that it was buring coolent and that means that there is a gasket gone or one of the heads were warped. It also knockes when it shifts, it will shift to second and will knock for about 2 seconds and then stops, then it smokes.what does that mean? It smokes when I floor it to.
About how much would stock heads be? and about how much would gaskets be?
I feel like i have posted this before i just can't remember. Sorry if it is a repost.

RE: well my car needs some parts
White smoke is typically water getting into the cylinders and comming out as steam, it's typically caused by issues with the heads. On the other hand, if it's a blue smoke, that's typically oil leaking into the cylinders, which isn't an uncommon problem, most of the time is a leaking ring and not something that's too big of a deal unless the car is using a lot of oil.

sounds like the trans is slipping...
if it was a head gasket the smoke would intensify the longer the car runs, where if it's just on start up your just burning some oil, i would worry about the tranny more than the little smoke burst at this point
