Sat for a total of 30 minutes. Went to start back up and started smoking white smoke horribly. Too bad to even drive. Towed it back home (70 miles). flushed coolant system, refilled and tested again. Still smokes really bad. Flushed again, followed directions for head gasket repair from STOP LEAK and still smokes white smoke badly. Engine now runs really rough. Drained and flushed system 3rd time and tested to see if I was getting circulation. NO HEATER function. Removed thermostat and tested again. Upper hose hot, lower hose not even warm. Whats up?

The upper hose hot thing and heater can be because gasket is allowing air in system while burning it too. Air won't exchange heat, water pump might be flailing in air and not pumping OR the stop leak has clogged up heater and radiator - not good news for you on this problem, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
