Watch your coolant level, if your head gasket ate it, you'll be sucking down coolant. Mine did at least, I pulled it right into the shop and tore it down, not worth destroying an engine over a simple head gasket.

the excess coolant is normal now........guess that was the cloud of smoke that came up...... took it too a mechanic shop they checked it and said nah it was fine........weird.....i told them about the smoke of clouds and they said maybe it just slipped through cuz it was under hard stress.....or cuz it was running lean........they said it was fine though......they said id know if i blew the gaskets.........confused oh and its an automatic.......so computer did all my shifting..........
