What might cause white smoke from the exhaust after having a head gasket repair done? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Having a CRACKED head will make WHITE smoke IF U didn't have the head MAGNA-FLUXED.
Answer
White smoke is steam. if it doesnt quit after awhile Id say that there is a leak in the head gasket between one of the coolent passages and a cylinder. this will let water into the cylinder which is turned into steam during combustion then exausted out the tail pipe.
Answer
just to clear up something: Magnafluxing will not prevent cracks, it is a process used to detect them. This should be done by a machine shop. the new gasket is obviously faulty, or the head is cracked. I would guess that its the gasket. The head may not have been torqued properly. Follow a Chiltons or similar repair manual very closely when installing a head.
