thesubeguy Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 alright, so i got a different block in my rx after replacing the first one with had piston ring problems. got it all in the car, cranked it over, ran fine, took it on the freeway, started shooting white smoke all over the place and now blows it all over the place when i put some gas to the engine. head gaskets possibly? anything else that it could be, its running quite high on the ol temp gauge now too.

XSNRG Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 You resealed the one head, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 loosing coolant possibly? cracked head in the exhaust port (pass side guess) probably drop the X-over pipe and see "you're in the fluid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesubeguy Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 ya resealed the passenger side with an oem head gasket. go for a seal on the other side? maybe swap heads again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 You may also want to check the intake manifold gaskets along with the PCV valve for a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The engine was a daily driver, ran great, just pulled one head. The head should be fine. Did you scrutinize the turbo? could be cracked. If you other engine was blowing steam, you may need to burn the water out of the exhaust system. The reference to the intake manifold is worth checking too.
