PsnSnake_19 · December 14th, 2011, 12:05 AM

So over the last 2 days my car is having alot if white smoke out of the exhaust, engine heats up really fast but the fan works, antifreeze boils up and splatters out the radiator cap oh and my left wheelhasthisannoying clacking sound when I release the brake while moving and no its not the rattliing clip I already checked those sorry to sound mean but damn my cobra just let a lot out lol I guess from the previous owner or maybe me cuz I don't give it a break if you know what im saying, its always at the track and racing

With the smoke and boiling over of the antifreeze, you almost certainly have a blown head gasket. Not sure on the brake noise since you've already ruled out the antirattle clips. Best suggestion I can think of is remove the wheel and then start pulling and prodding on everything in that vicinity and see if you find something that moves when it shouldn't.

Yea bro I guessed the blown head gasket :/ and I havent switched the new clips for the old ones yet, the New ones look a lot more sturdy nd thicker so maybe it will tighten the brake pads to stop moving ill see tommorow

STOP DRIVING IT ASAP.

Sounds like a head gasket is shot for sure.

Damn is that an expensive fix?? And I still have to drive it to the mechanic tommorow morning which is like 4 miles away... And is this commom for stangs

It really depends on how hard the car was driven.. Also, I wouldnt be suprised if it cost a good chunck of change.. Im talking a grand or so..
