2G Recondition Engine 4g63T

Hello all here is my story. I have a 99 Eclipse GST.

The problem I am having is I had a cloud of white smoke all the time when I drove my car and thought it was the turbo. I took it apart and could not find anything wrong with it. This past weekend I did a compression test because the idle was rough and the test result for all cylinders were perfect, but the #1 piston was full of antifreeze and my spark plug was wet. After that I drove the car and it started to overheat and antifreeze was coming out of the exhaust manifold. I have researched the forum and can't find any explanation except that I may have a cracked head. If this is the case I don't think the warranty will cover it since the car overheated but how can I be certain. I replaced the thermostat and when I drove it, the reservoir was full and my radiator hose got larger I guess from the pressure.

Any information will be appreciated.

You blew the headgasket. Stop driving the car and get it fixed before you do anymore damage.

yep sounds like you blew the head gasket to me.

Blah, if its still in its drivetrain warranty period, theres pretty much nothing they can refuse to do (unless it isn't broken). Even if its just out of warranty, theres not much you can't get done without a little whining or threatting to call corparate customer care or management. You just gotta know how the system works.
