Default HEADGASKET ? ITS A TRICKY ONE


ive done my Research and i was sure my OVERHEATING problem was due to the HEADGASKET

my car would Generally overheat if iam going on a long drive ( 2 hours constant ) or if iam being stupid
and driving fast a long period.

However if i drive normally , nothing would happen , no overheating.

NOW HERES THE TRICKY BIT

yesterday i went on a really long drive like 100miles ( 180k ) and NO OVERHEATING
even boosting it crazy.

i was gona change my headgasket but now iam not sure

could it be something else ?

Oil is milky, puffs white smoke, runs hot(ter), losing anti-freeze <-- All signs of HG issues. TunerToys.com and get some headstuds or it WILL happen again.
