So I start my car and I see a crap load of white smoke coming out of the muffler. Now my car is revving high in 2k. Im guessing this is head gasket issue? If so, how hard is it to replace and should I replace the whole gasket ordeal or just the gasket itself. I'm not looking to put much more work into the car as it'll have a newer engine. If I could just replace one simple gasket and get away with it for 4 months, then it'll work. I guess it wasn't good to let it sit for so long and not starting

Buy the headgasket fix at autozone for like $30. Make sure you get the stuff you can just dump into your radiator. If you need it to just get buy for a while i've had good success with it.
Not a permanent fix, but stopped the leak twice for me for a few months. Also if you pull the head, get it resurfaced, otherwise you could put it back on and itll be worse. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
