Default Blew my head gasket =/ EFF

Well i got in some throuble at home yeaterday so i drove 2.5 hours to castlerock to go get some stuff from nike outlet....

Once i got home my car wouldnt start back up for anthing and coolent got drained all to **** so i refilled it and let it sit over night hoping i didnt mess anything up...

Just went out there now and started her up and started up fine ....but with White smoke... So is this definatly the head gasket? grrr...


And I Guessing that this is the official OEM gasket? HERE

So
  • Take to Shop to Check For Warping
  • Order Gasket
  • Drain Oil
  • Drain Coolent
  • Replace Gasket
  • Refill Both
  • Thats All?


Anything else ill need when changing it out?

If you managed to blow the head gasket, you'll want to take the car to a shop and have them check to make sure the head isn't warped. You should also have them check the block too. If there is warping on either, just changing the gasket will do you no good

[ninja edit] And dude, that's a B series head gasket for a CRV. I don't think that's for the same engine as your Del Sol.

Did you check to see if oil was mixed in your coolant or vice versa?
