I killed it...

I think the nitrous might have helped, or it was the 170,000 miles. Anyway, white smoke poaring from the left side exhaust, smells like burning anti-freeze.

Pulled the head off, not a gasket problem. Either the head is warped or there might be a crack in the head.

Time to UPGRADE!!!

Big cam, ported heads. I dont have enough money to do the bottom end or i would do that as well. Whats the point of taking it apart if it goes back together exacly the same.

Off with the bottle, on with the cubes...

Look at the bright side there are not many engines that can take abuse at the kind of mileage and still live. But a 350 is like a timex. Good luck you might look into some of the LE 1,2,3 h/c packages as an option.
