Re: Need Help...Please Check This Out!!!!

prob blew a head gasket, all that water in your oil bearings don't last long. If your oil looks like chocolate milk yup. I wouldn't run it until you know, is it a constant knock or just when you put a laod on it like spark knock. Can you see anything leaking out of the engine. Depends how your gasket blew, if your really lucky it could just be an intake gasket. Head gasket could of blown too the outside and exhaust gasses are escaping causing a popping sound like a bad exhaust manifold gasket. Where is it smoking from the exhaust or the enginie itself is smoking?

Could be a lot of stuff
