Okay so here is the scenario about a week ago I pulled the heads off the car to replace the lifters because I found a lifter bearing in my oil only to find out that all my lifters are fine so that means to previous owner had this issue.

I replace the head gaskets and any other gaskets I would run into upon reassembly. the car ran fine for about a week until one day was running a little weird then the next day sitting in traffic the car started to dump white smoke out the exhaust to what I understand as coolant and the temp got up to about 220. so I drove the car home parked it for the day and then took it to where I have access to a lift.

I pulled the plugs and found that my first three plugs on each side what kind of whit but none of them showed signs of coolant but then I pulled my number 8 and number 7 cylinder plugs and they were as black as could be as if I'm getting fuel but no spark also I pulled my valve covers to find that one of my rockers was stripped from the bolt-hole on my number 5 cylinder .

so I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what causes caused my rear cylinders both be rich and now here is a variable for the coolant in my exhaust after that happened I no longer had any Obvious amount of coolant coming out of my exhaust so is there a way that a bunch of coolant got dumped into my exhaust but my head gasket is fine at the moment I am just racking my brain trying to put these variables together . Tomorrow I will do a pressure test on the system and then go from there I guess.

Bump for family. I have to wonder if it's 3 separate issues cause I can't seem to connect the dots!
