My first guess would be running lean? I believe that would be from the head gasket or similiar being bad??? Sorry not 100% Jim 05-20-2007, 07:20 AM if it ran hot and you have white smoke, pull your plugs and see which ones are wet..lol...head gasket time...have a ball...make sure you take them to machine shop, aluminum heads will warp so bad u cant have them machined to level.... bsedec 09-21-2007, 06:13 PM Probably your head gasket, look at the anti-freeze is it brown, dirty looking or oily? If so this also points to head gasket. shrub 09-21-2007, 11:25 PM That would be a blown head gasket. Your heads may be warped depending on how hot it got. Have them checked as well timecop 09-24-2007, 06:07 AM That would be a blown head gasket. Your heads may be warped depending on how hot it got.

The fix was replace the valve seals and umbrellas | |
