Well.... got the car running yesterday drove it for a while. Some coolant leaking which turned out to be a bad radiator cap.
Today got it up to temperature, it just pours white smoke out of the exhuast. I know that usually means headgasket... however it's brand new. I cleaned the head and block, but didnt have the head decked. It seemed smooth though. Should i start ripping it apart or any other ideas? I've never seen a bad head gasket pour this much smoke which is strange. Doesn't necessarily have that sweet smell either, but not sure what else it could be.

its possible that it overheated the day before and warped. you did break a cardinal rule of checking the deck and head for straightness. do a compression check and see how that is. there is also a tester you can get to test the coolant for exhaust particles.

It's possible but, the temp gauge was fine and I really didnt drive it very far. What could have happend is that since the radiator cap was faulty, the system never really pressurized. Once i put the new cap on it found whatever weakness there was. Damn, guess i'm going to have to tear it down. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
