just wondering what it is and how i can fix it if its bad. I read about the blue smoke but is that different? Its kinda whiteish maybe blue not tooo sure b/c its not a lot of smoke also im kinda color blind so its hard. But yeah white smoke (possibly blue). Any thoughts? thanks guys

i get smoke everytime i start the car regardless of the temperature. but when i start driving it, the smoke clears.
i think i've got big problems....i was told that it won't pass smog... how much does it usually cost to replace the head gasket? what's a fair price on a rebuild kit? thanks in advance. |

[right][snapback]219025[/snapback][/right] Headgaskets are time consuming and expensive, its about a 6+ Hour Job (Mitchell Time Book) That means it will most likely be around $500-600 Labor +-100, +200 +-50 for parts. Have you actually tested your smog at a MVA or DMV Test site, just because it smokes in the morning doesnt mean it wont pass smog tests. |
