I am posting this in the FI sectiion because I am wondering head gaskest people are running on head and cam stock bottum end cars running about 8 psi.

but let me explain my problem.

Ever since I put my car together this year, new heads and the procharger my car has been smoking(white). I keep fowling plugs 2 and 8. cound that the problem was I was getting oil in these cylinders. I thought it was cause my rockers bolts might not have been sealed well. so I resealed the rockers and they still fowl. I am thinking maybe valve seals.

I got my car tuned last friday the 13th. And while I was on the dyno at high rpms I kepts pushing the oil dipstick out of the tube. I thought I just needed to open up the pcv system. so I brought it home and put some breathers on it. Now at idle it smokes like crazy out of the breathers. I preformed a leak down test and found that 6 of the 8 cylinders were losing about 80% of the air I was putting in them. so fearing I hurt the motor I pulled the heads back off the car. all of the pistons are ok none are damaged. but I also notice that the when I pulled the radiator cap there was preasure in the system and it was low on fluid(had been sititng for 3 days) so I am thinking maybe I blew a head gasket or have a warped head or something. Not sure looking for ideas

BTW I was running a MLS gasket. Should I change gaskets and put it back together and hope for the best. I will check the heads with a straight edge.

Or should I bite the bullet and forge the bottum end of the motor

Also the motor only have 54k on the short block

Thanks

Your burning anifreeze dude. Blue smoke is oil, white is antifreeze, and black is raw fuel (rich condition). Sounds like you have a head gasket out. Hope I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure of it. Sorry Bro.

I already pullled the heads off the car they don't look blown but it is hard to tell on a MLS gasket if is is blown. I am not sure

Just pisses me off since they have only been on the car for 200 mile if that

I'm thinking that if after 3 days of sitting you still had pressure in your cooling system then your head gaskets must seal pretty ******* good.

When the plugs foul, are they oil fouled? Post a pic of a plug, that will tell us.

Make sure you didn't damage a piston and/or ring.

I will get some picture of the plugs later I know they are oil fowled because both of those intake valves had oil laying on top of them. These 2 cylinders the 2 that I had a good cylinder leak down test on like 30% the other 6 I had 80% leak down on. But the car did smoke white I had lost some coolant. The tops of the pistons look fine nothing appears to be damaged I can't really tell about the rings. I Am not sure what to do know
