Re: iroc question

Errr... That doesn't sound real good...

Let me ask you this - do you have any smoke (particularly whitish-colored smoke) from the tailpipe? If you check your oil, does the oil on the dipstick look OK? When you popped the radiator cap, what did the coolant & the inside of the radiator look like?

Any other symptoms you've noticed?

Re: iroc question

sorry about the response time but i have been praying that it is not a head gasket there is little smoke only on start up and the oil is black not milky but a local mechanic said that it is the first stage of a head gasket so will see soon i guess

Re: iroc question

the heads are most likely cracked,its only a matter of time if you want to save the shortblock just get another set of heads done and replace or just get a fresh 350 built while still driving the car...
