hey guys,

just started my fresh 383 with ported heads and all that jazz, i had a falty elec. wp and the car over heated to 235' before i caught it... that was the first drive outside in 30' weather, now i have 40 miles on the car and i see white smoke out the exhaust... i'm super rich and i donno what it is...

i have bars leak in the car already, i'm gonna try 1 more time with that and if this doesnt go away... i'm gonna pull the heads.... any ideas?

my oil was and is clean... i'm using head studs and i dont see anything leaking!!!

 

The only other thing I've seen burn white is transmission fluid, but don't ask how the hell that got in your combustion chamber. (I had a problem like that with an 82 Malibu, and it bellowed out white smoke. Never had a coolant problem, but I had to replace at least 1 qt of tranny fluid EVERYDAY.

 

tranny fluid is fine, and i've check the oil... its dark but i dont see any water in it... is there a way to sperate it?

i donno about my coolant loss, its a new engine and i know air pocktets take a bit to remove!!!

any ideas.. pleaase

 

You could pressure test the radiator.

 

me and another guy both had white smoke after head/cam install, and for us it was dirty injectors - they were not brand new, and had been sitting on the shelf for too long.

 

i just pulled 3 random plugs,

#1,3 were okay with a lil black and white..but #2 was clean... like it was pressure washed..

i did CR test on #2 and i got 175 and then i did it again and got 120 ..... didnt even bother with the rest... i know what this means..


i'm gonna drop the car off at APE when i get back form spring break next week, head gaskets and dyno tunes for me
