smells like s***
ok , took the bird out today for a few wot runs to see if maybe that would help my ecm re-learn and maybe fix my problem "follow my previous threads" , so i give it a little gas then i floor it and there was a huge white cloud behind me , then when i got home i let it idle for a few minutes and it didnt smell like it was running rich , it smelled like burned water with chemicals in it"coolant" , the thing that makes me scratch my head is that my coolant is disappearing ,, but the other day it came back after letting the car warm up "around 180*" so im confused is it rich or am i burning coolant , and how is it doing it ? , i torqued the heads right and evrything so ...yeah i feel dumb now

Re: smells like s***
really ? i just got over that whole problem , how could i have blown a head gasket , i only did like 2 WOT runs , and i havent been driving the car due to the problem , how can i make sure i didnt nlow a gasket again , do i have to wait ofr the car to warm up and see if there are bubbles in the reserve tank or what , because if so i am going to be pissed , and if it it is the head gaskest , i will rip it out and just gor for the 350 in january

just got back from idleing the bird for 30 minutes, i let it reach 220* , i checked the reserve tank and no bubbles or coolant level rise , and the rich smell came back , so false alarm .
