So today I started my car and looked in my rear view mirror only to see whitish blue smoke and while this was going on my car was running really rough... It stopped smoking and ran fine after about 20 seconds tho. I'm assuming I have a blown head gasket. Anyone have any ideas???

 

White smoke could just be condensation in the exhaust if you had a cold night or something, but blue exhaust usually means some oil is being burned. I'm not sure what color smoke it is when you have a bad head gasket though

 

Any other signs of a head gasket issue. How is you coolant level?

 

Coolant is good. I'm going to run a compression test next week. If that's the case, I'm going to replace both gaskets, intake gasket, and put re manufactured heads on it along with a new clutch and flywheel. They're bad too lol

 

did it smell like it was running rich? also how much humitity was in the air, sometimes it dosnt take much to make a cloud when theres the right mix of moisture in the air already.

 

It was pretty humid out. I couldn't smell anything. I couldn't get out of the car to smell the exhaust either because I had to be in it to hold down the brake. My parking brake cable is broke lol. But anyway the car was running really rough and missing as well. I had this issue when I lost my timing cover gasket and had to run the car hot too. Then I put Bar's Leak in it to seal the head gasket up. It's starting to do it again. I FOR SURE had a blown head gasket when the car got hot. I didn't expect the Bar's Leak to hold up but it got me this far. So I guess it's time to fix it the right way eh? lol

 

ahhh ok yep gota pay the piper. lol.

 

lol yeah

 

jus get a loan and buy the rest of my car, ls1 tr6 swap

 

I can't get a loan. There's not a bank ANYWHERE that will loan me a single dime. I don't have any credit being 18 and I can't get a cosigner...
