white smoke?

ByPopularDemand · February 22nd, 2007, 04:28 PM

When I get on it occasionally white smoke pours outta my exhaust...it only happens on punches from about 50 or above...any ideas on what or why this is

Juggalo_X · February 22nd, 2007, 04:33 PM

blown head gasket or intake gasket not good dude not good at all. ur burning coolant

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 04:34 PM

how long has your exhaust been in?

HMUSN · February 22nd, 2007, 04:34 PM

+1 on burning coolant

ByPopularDemand · February 22nd, 2007, 04:39 PM

The exhaust has been on since about the end of dec...I haven't seen the smoke 4 a while though

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 04:42 PM

umm your exhaust shouldn't be burning any thing off anymore than. Yeha you got a bad gasket somewhere

Juggalo_X · February 22nd, 2007, 04:45 PM

check your oil is there airation bubbles in it or is it orange maybe a bit green cuz u might be putting it right into ur crank case and thats even worse then burning it. also pop the coolant cap off and check for oil in ur reservoir. also inspect the outsideo f the block by the heads and where the intake bolts on for a visible leak.

Hmm...ok I also remember a lil oil on the rear 2 spark plugs...is that involved...and what color would the coolant be if I had a problem...and I thought blown gaskets led to overheating

Juggalo_X · February 22nd, 2007, 06:20 PM

u got a cracked head most likely if u got oil on ur plugs or bad valve seals or bad rings. last time i had oil on my plugs it was a cracked head.

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 06:25 PM

Man I would go get full diagnostic test and have them run a compression test as well.

dont have to overheat to have a bad gasket but urs sounds more like a cracked head now that u say u have oil on your plugs

ByPopularDemand · February 22nd, 2007, 08:54 PM

And its only on the two rear most plugs...and how would one crack a head

really pushing it. to check it Coolant is leaking into your oil, put your finger into the coolant resorviour and rub the coolant in your fingers. If it feels greasy, than its leaking. Another way to check is to do an oil change and if the oil comes out looking like coffee with cream in it, your leaking coolant into your oil. Not good at all. Def. something to get fixed. I bet you cracked your block.

YEA RIGHT not a chance.

he doesnt have that much power

these blocks can hold plenty power.

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 10:57 PM

Yeah you crack a 3.8 block you are doing very good it is one of the strongest block available from ford. It is something within the internals.

Texan_Stud · February 22nd, 2007, 10:58 PM

i cant see any bolt-on cars cracking the block unless they have a zillion miles on them

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 11:07 PM

I even doubt that I have never heard of a 3.8 cracked block. Ford did there homework designing this one.

they could of done better on the v6 mustang in general tho.. they didnt have to spend much more and it would of gotten alot better gas milage and prolly 10 more hp to the crank

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2007, 11:18 PM
