Well I have blown my head gasket 4 sure, the car was suposed to be set at 15psi for break in but spike all the way to 26psi through one gear and the car pured out white smoke from the blown head gasket. I had the car towed home not knowing what was wrong with it at this point but got it started it was running real ruff at first shaking the whole car but oil preasure was still good. It eventualy smothed out but was still not running right. I then shut it off and walked around the back and seen a huge pudle around the exhaust hence the blown head gasket. I was just wondering if you guys think I burnt or cracked any pistons, or may have broken anything else? I doubt i warped the head because it shut off right after it happend and was never alowed to over heat ethier way I plan to have it machined. Any help would be great!
