Like i said before, when starting the car i get a cloud of white smoke and then it clears away, but then after 5 min. of warming up, when i rev pretty high i get some more white smoke! what does this mean? is it time for a rebuild?

rmodel65

is it running hot? blue smoke means ur burning oil, white(steam water) greyishh white to black running to rich

ADRIAN1

YES, IT IS RUNNING HOT.. i think it has to do with my heater core needing to be rebuilt (leaking coolant inside).[:@]

rmodel65

bypass the heater to stop the leak and see if its still running hot after toppin off the coolant system als go to autozone and get the coolant pressurizer(its a loan a tool) to pressurize the system to make sure u dont have a blown headgasket

it should hold pressure without dropping drastically

what is the temp where ur at?

ADRIAN1

im not sure what exact temp. im at, but my needle hits the H (hot)!!!.

rmodel65

i means is it cold out side? it can make it look like its smoking when its not really. know what i mean?

but yes definitely check the coolant system with the pressure tester then go from there

ADRIAN1

ya i know what you mean, but it was pretty warm..
ya i will do that. Thanks!

who cares what the problem is, smoking justifies a rebuild and go-fast parts!!!!!!!

ADRIAN1

Thats what im talkin about!
...I know theres lots of people out there who have had there engine(s) rebuilt. I know there LOTS of steps during this process, but what are the main steps i need to do for a rebuild. during the rebuild i also want to add a few "go-fast parts". i want a (street/strip) at least 325hp!! Saying that, what parts and things do i need to do to the motor to achieve this goal??...
