Thanks! I dunno if anyone would recognise these symptoms but there was a lot of exhaust, thick exhaust, it would surround my car. The other day i was filling my radiator but the water was flowing out the exhaust. Any ideas?

Blown Head Gasket probabbly.

The smoke is because oil is getting into your cylinders, and the coolant is probbably doing the same thing.

You have two options:

Do it yourself: about 500-700 cost depending on what else is wrong.

Have a garage do it: 1200-2000 depending on your area.

What would explain the water coming out of the exhaust?

You need a new engine to rebuild.

Don't waste your efforts or money on fixing that hunk of scrap metal.

It's ruined.

It will never be right no matter how much money you throw at it.

Sell the shell and buy a Nissan.

I love all the newer Nissan cars; they have a great lineup for '07 and '08. I get to drive them every day

what color was the exhaust?

Zprodo · 06-16-2008, 08:10 AM

I don't know if supramacist is joking or not, but that is terrible advice. It sounds like you have a blown head gasket. Without taking the engine apart, i don't see how your mechanic came to the conclusion of a cracked block vs. other things that cause the same symptoms. Check under your oil cap/check your oil. Is the cap white underneath? Is your oil milky looking? Dont drive or run the car anymore until you know the problem and fix it.

Any metal components that need oil can not come into contact with coolant because if they do.

Oil will never adhese to them again. Without a complete tear down and mineral wash and I'm not sure if that'll solve it.

If you have coolant running out your tail pipe. Please.

Common logic dictates it's time to start fresh.

Terrible advise???? This dude has not a single clue.

And you want him to rebuild his own shit. Get real.

You scrapped the car. You shucked a tooth you're out of the game.

Find a car that you can fix and will stay fixed. Because for the 5k you're going to spend to make this issue go away.

You can almost own something that runs and will continue to run.

These are project cars. Very few of us have daily drivers and if we do it's because we keep it that way.

You're going to embark upon a never ending process.

Research this crap. See how many people have just bought a supra and see how many of them are still paying to fix them or just had it fixed for it to break again.

Poor advice is telling this guy to get to work on something that's going to take him too much time to fix..., only for it to break down again because he listened to someone that still had no clue.

Save yourself the ongoing headache. Get a car that runs and will keep running.

I have over 10k into a 3k car. You're going to end up in the same boat.
And I still have parts on order.

I'm done feeding the toyota monster. I'm done trying to talk sence to you new guys.

You get what you deserve just like the rest of us are STILL getting.

With the exception of those few of you master mechanics that tune in from time to time.

Stop seeing the car as you want it to be. And accept it for what it is and that's a project car. That you work on for months to drive half a mile to find out what's still wrong with it.
