I'm going off a limb and saying its a blown head gasket, i have Some white smoke at idle Very little when its really warm out, secondly i keep getting low coolant, and having to fill the radiator once a week, Started last week... :(

Also I Know I'm going to have the pull the motor apart again, And it's not Intake gaskets, brand new felpro's.... So I'm wondering What gaskets should I buy I plan on Porting the heads, Better springs, camming it and dropping the pulley from a 3.4 to a 3.2 or 3.1. I already have Decent headers and A very good air to Exhaust flow setup.

I would like to know what gaskets to get because I will be running more boost then the 10psi I am running right now, Also I want to pull the trans, I slip in first sometimes, well Slip from first to second when cold, anyhow I know how to rebuild transmissions I do 4l60e's all the time Simple as cake, But What can i do To prevent Trans failure in the future??? just some extra clutches, springs and redline clutches should work right? thats all i usually do besides drill some holes for better flow and pressure mods.


Thanks, Steve... also I will not be starting on it till late summer, this is my DD and my Camaro should be running soon when i install my new trans. So I don't have time for another project for quite some time. so sits she will. :(

I was thinking of selling it But I would hurt to let this car go, never would I have thought I'd get attached to this car lol
 


felpro gaskets will take 25 pounds of boost without a problem. they are cheap, run them.

also, head gaskets arent super common, you sure thats what it is? is there coolant in your oil?

Click to expand...

No coolant is in the oil, So it only blew out into the Cylinder port.

and Im 100% sure its not the Intake gaskets I've done them twice now the first time was for engine rebuild the second time was for a ported intake manifold. :th_nanana:

I believe its getting better though, i ran some gasket sealant I'm very against the stuff since it plugs the heater core but i need a car for driving everyday and have no choice right now. :(

I hope the guy before me didn't overheat this engine, because the intake gaskets looked like massive abuse. and this was on a 40k mile motor and trans.

EDIT: also when driving the car never go's over 160/170F
