found out at problem was valve covers gasket was leaking oil on manifold causing the white smoke and as far as the water the hose hade gotten a slit in it when it wa tighten down thx for the options guys

so wats that mean

i installed a new radiator and say that coolant was driping on the headers and on tail pipe looked under and there is a leak some were underneath the engine with a small leak some were it was running along the oil pan from somewere in the front on the driver side white smoke was comming off the headers manifold

ok ill try the hose method

if there is water in the oil it would be real runny or sludgy i doubt its the head gasket

i imagine i did get a little in from when the radiator throught the breather elbow on valve cover overflow boiled over while i was driveing as far as the head i doubt it cause i checked oil plugs and i see no difference in power or preformance i studdered a little when the tps got wet but it runs fine now but still i wonder if thats the case

One day was driving and my radiator got hot and started smoking white and then i checked my oil and spark plugs to make sure the head gasket didn't break. And after i took my oil filler cap off and opened the throttle body butterfly valve, white smoke was coming out. Any ideas what it could be? Possibly was it burning oil because it got hot? the radiator pretty much blew all the coolant out of the overflow bottle to the point none was in it.

got the old radiator out and put a hose in it and its totally clogged with little rocks or maybe corrosion. now i need to flush the system before i install new radiator. how do i go about flushing it?

my radiator finally is shot and i need to replace and how do you bleed the air out of the system once the radiator is replace and i start to fill with coolant it the yatem that has the overflow bottle on drivers side and is a 2.5L

is the gm iron duke amc style 2.5l tbi

could it possibly be the thermostat

how would u test those?

anyidea why it would be so high

sunpro 2 tach

thats next on my list btw i hooked a tach up and it says at idle I'm running 1500 rpm is this normal at idle? any suggestions

so is that a increase or decrease?

i hope now I'm reasonable with the size now we can talk mpg

i had the same problem but it was the slave every morning i would fill up to get pressure becuase there would be none in the peddle after i drive it all day and then next morning have to fill again i had a small leak in mine i had a enternal on a ax-5
