Please Help, Head Gasket Well I just found out my head gasket blew. My question is, Would I have to swap out the motor just to get to the head gasket? Motor is still in the car. I took out the intake manifold to get a better look and more space. From the looks of it I have about 3" from the head cylinder to the car. Would that be enough space? If you guys can get some input in here, it would be great thanks.
Not sure. while I was driving on the highway (not pushing it) all of a sudden white smoke just came out of my exhaust then I smelt coolant. Barely made it home because of the loss of power.
Except if the turbo is caking the intake with oil or coolant and sending it in the motor along with the air it's supposed to. Or if the O2 sensors are now caked with oil and or coolant. Or if the turbo is now a restriction instead of flowing like it is supposed to. Or if the turbo came apart and sent bits into the motor. A blown turbo can do many things and also make your car run terribly. My point was, it's worth looking at that before you pull the motor.
