i had just got my car off the dyno ,was driving back from steeda and i decided to get on it on the highway, i went from 3rd to the top of 4th, after i got off of it my friend said there was some white smoke comin out the back, when i stopped at the light off of the highway a HUGE *** cloud covered my car and the car next to me, the whole way home it was smoking.
we took apart the car, got down to the lower intake, some of the bolts weren't tight so we figured i might have just been burning coolant, took it off and the gasket was half on the manifold and half of the head, it seemed all f'd (**edited by your Friendly MOD :D **)up, so we put some new lower intake gaskets on thinking it would hopefully solve the problem
we started it up about 10minutes ago, timing was wrong so we finally got it adjusted and got it running, it was running fine so to speak but there was light smoke coming out the engine, on the driver side of the car, then it disappated fast (sp?) and didnt come back, we turned it off to see if we could find the problem and we heard something like air trying to get out of somethin, i thoguht it was the radiator hose, we disconnected it and the sound stopped; ok problem fixed right?
we started it again, it was running "fine", that noise stopped, then we messed with the throttle and gave it some gas, it revved up to abou 2500, and then settled at 2k or so, and just hung there, me and my friend looked at eachother and were like "uh, ok ..." i go around back of the car to get to the drivers side and i see white smoke coming out the back, i was like "damn it" and it wasn't stopping, so i kind of stared at it for about 5sec and it just kept coming out. i turned off the car went out to the back again and you could see the smoke just drifting out the passenger side, not a lot just like a lil bit of "smoke" so to speak
i had a 7lb radiator cap on before, when i went to a 16lb the
upper radiator hose started getting rock hard, the guys at steeda told me i needed a 16lb cap with the radiator i had (fluidyne), then all those problems started happening...
does anyone know what the hell is goin on? :( :( :( :( :fist:
