  1. i have had a go at by passing the tb of coolant pipes using the old tb to keep all water away from the intake. or is there another water source? could or would an oil change make a difference as to whether or not it smoked/steamed?
  2. white gunk on oil filler cap, excessive smoke from exhaust, coolant in rad has an oily texture this has all happened after changing my manifold for a corrolla manifold.
  3. i think my head gaskets gone but i dont know enough about engines to do it so would anyone be interested in doing it for me? regards bob
  4. how hard is head gasket to do?
  5. Did this on mine and now my car is burning water! Any ideas why? The pipes are round the right way by the way. Any ideas would be helpful x
  6. is this still being broken? havent had any replies on anything
  7. Sorry to crash but would you be able to tell me if the sr 4efe lump has a water jacket behind the inlet manifold?
  8. could that be the cause to my steam? i fitted my corolla manifold and now it steams, its a 4efe would it cause it to let in water if i had knocked it a bit?
  9. why would the wrong inlet gasket allow it to leak water?
  10. will check the inlet gasket if i get time tomorrow. cheers for the help
  11. im feeling that way a bit. could be a head gasket i spose?
  12. think im gunna cry

  13. did it make it smoke white? theres a fair bit of water forming in the bottom of the backbox on the tip but is this not normal? bit of black in the water too, just soot isnt it?
  14. as in the title. my car is letting in water from somewhere. thanks in advance
  15. before during when i by passed it the check for leaks at tb power steering on right ones bit of water here but been running it without since finding the problem this was in clouds that meant you couldnt see the back of the car
  16. just ran it again got it a bit warm. turned it off. started it and let it idle which it did then the idle went below usual so swithed off. pics are coming by the way
  17. no but i didnt run it for long. you can smell the coolant in the exhaust gases at the back. whether its still going in the block or not is the thing thats worrying me. i'll get some now, what do you want to see? thanks for the advice by the way guys
