engine probs HELP!
 

car has very hard trouble starting i have to keep pumping the gas for a few mins for it to start and then when it starts it overheats hella quick.. and then alot of white smoke comes out the exhaust.. would anybody know whats going on? i was told that my head is cracked any suggestions?

RE: engine probs HELP!
 

sounds like a head gasket to me....that will mostly likely cost around 1k or so....depending on where you go. But i am willing to bet thats your problem

White smoke= bad head gasket= coolant getting into combustion chamber= terrible performance, and you're killing your engine.

Who told you your head was cracked?

damn. you beat me to it.

my bro in-law told me that its more than likly cracked so insted of taking the head off and bringing it to the machine shop to get it check for $65 bucks i rather just buy a rebuilt head to get it out the way.. check the link on top thats the head i bought.

I hate to tell you. But it sounds to be like you just waisted 400 bucks man.

RE: engine probs HELP!
 

why do you think that? you think i just needed to replace my headgasket only?

that is where to start.... never dish out the $$$ for the expensive stuff first man. and to crack your head it will take alot of abuse and heat and high RPMs to do
