A blown head gasket potentially permits coolant to enter the cylinder(s) and/or the crankcase and, conversely, high pressure exhaust gas and oil to enter the cooling system. My understanding is that the loss of coolant and impeded coolant flow results in overheating.

It suggests impeded coolant flow, such as occurs when the thermostat is stuck closed.

White smoke = coolant burning (blown head gasket)
Blue smoke = oil burning (bad rings or valve seals, or blown head gasket)
No smoke = not highly informative

It's too soon to buy anything. You need more information about the problem. (see below)

First do what addiction recommends drain the oil and coolant and inspect them. Also check the spark plugs. The next step is determined by the outcome of these inspections. Proceed slowly and methodically.

 

I agree. One possibility is that the original engine stall was caused by the timing belt skipping a tooth along with a failure of the water pump. Therefore, inspecting the timing belt might also be a good idea. The main concern is whether major engine damage occurred during the subsequent severe engine overheating.

 

thanks guys.

take out oil then coolant first.
inspect plugs. pretty much everything is new so if there is a change ill notice it.


i have seen many take out the thermostat here.

should i just take it out to be safe for the future?

im in socal so its usually just hot here.

i forgot to list all the new stuff i just put in it.
i didnt even get to put on 100 miles yet. hahah on me.

new:
ngk spark plugs.
ngk plug wires
thermostat, thats if the shop really did install it.
water pump.
oil pump.
bottom and top all the gaskets and any O-rings.
timing belt.
regrind cam shaft.
cam gear, unorthodox.
cp piston
eagle rods.
supertech valves,
sping,
retainers.
ARP head bolts.
RACE bearings.

i just tried to make sure when i did this i did it right. i change what i knew and upgraded where i needed.
i never tried to skimp out on anything i do. do it right or dont dont do it at all, i usually say.
but tuning was the next step after i ran the break in period. i would have done the tune if they advised me to.

oh well now ill just take it all apart and see after the oil and coolant inspection.

oh you guys said to see what smoke it is. so should i try to start it up again?

 

just did a quick inspection. i wont have time or space till next week or so to totally break it down.
took the dipstick out, the oil seemed ok.but when i took the oil cap off, it had a milky residue stuck on top.
im guessing the dip stick is only taking the top of the oil pan and coolant is probably heavier then oil. so its sinking down to the bottom.
so far the oil might be mixing with coolant.
the major damage is instant i assume when this happens or does it need more time to damage the components?

the timing belt looks worn on the side.

im not sure if that means anything.

 

No. Finish a careful inspection of the drained oil, coolant, spark plugs, timing belt, and water pump. At minimum, it is sounding like the head gasket blew.

 

oil = look to see if coolant is there, which it is, most likeyly.

coolant = look to see if oil is there. most if not all the coolant is gone because of it shooting out of the reservouir area.

spark plugs = not sure what too look for.

timing belt = not sure sure what too look for. i guess just look to see if it jump a tooth?

water pump = its new, what would i be looking for there?

do you think the bearing are fried too?
what am i looking for on the bearings, to know if they are damaged or not?
the bearings are new too so im not sure if they were able to survive this.

 

Drain the remaining coolant, what little there is, and inspect it.

Look for oil or other fouling of the spark plugs, comparing those in cylinders 1-4.

Look for any damage of the timing belt and whether it is off by one or more teeth. Check whether the water pump spins freely or is leaking.

Check whether the crank pulley turns freely or is locked up.

 

ya milky residue means you definatly have radiator fluid in the oil system.... needless to say definatly have to pull the head and hopefully like he said its just the head gasket and nothing else broke.... check the block and head to ensure it didnt warp any with a straight edge and a good eye on both! if they warped then ya got more $$ to spend to have the warped parts decked flat again. tho im not sure about if youd need to use some spacers of some kind to compensate for the shaved off warped part for clearance or what not... youd have to talk to the head/block shop about that if it is warped.

 

no problem pulling the head.

a bit of work but i dont mind its a learning process.

im still not too good at doing the timing belt.
its hard to see where the line is on the balancer and the cam gear.
and while the engine is still on the car.

if the coolant has oil, would that just tell me the same thing the coolant is in the oil area?

anyone of you knowledgable guys located in socal?
just seeing if someone can teach me how to realign the timing belt.

 

also forgot to mention it is sleeved too.
