for the people here that have fucked rings or broke ring lands or blown headgaskets... how'd your car run after and did it blow smoke out the exhaust? did you blow a lot of air out of the valve cover breather? blow white smoke out the exhaust? run like ---- at idle but ok everywhere else?

i need some info... i think i may have blown a headgasket...

o yea, it sound like u have crack rign land. my car was blowing alot of smoke out of my exhaust, lots of pressure out of my brather filter and some pingng noise. i did a did a leak down test and found 70% leak on my #3 cyclinder. took the engine apart and found 3 crack pistons.

When I blew the rings in piston #2 there was a shitload of smoke coming from the valve cover breather. So much I couldn't breathe in my car it was so bad. I ended up running a tube from the valve cover to the side of my car so I didn't have to breathe it in. The exhaust smoke wasn't that bad or I didn't really notice it compared to the blowby smoke.
My compression was
180 180 100 180

When I blew my head gasket everythign was fine except when I really got on the engine I'd get the sweet smell of burning coolant. I also had to fill it up once a week but that really wasn't that bad. I very light white smoke out the exhaust and bubbles in the radiator.

The idle was never affected in both instances.

thanks, thats wierd my car never pinged, but the breather blows some out... lil grungy lookin air too... and the lil smoke out the back is whitish.

i have to get it some time, because i got some oil in the spark plug holes and it might be that ---- just still burning off.
