Entwined Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sorry, don't know much about cars. Here is my problem: I have a 94 civic hatch cx, was running fine, still is but, when I rev at high rpms a puff of white smoke comes out my exhaust. On occasion my car will idle funny, like if its breathing hard it goes from 1000 rpms to 1500 up and down. I am not sure what exactly is the problem, I mean it drives fine so but, I would rather my car not explode on me because i disregarded this problem. Another note; it burns oil fairly quickly, so I added more now it is not smoking as much but still its a little irritating any sort of help would be great.

White usually means bad head gasket and you are burning anti-freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineSniper217 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I got a brand new mulitlayer steel headgasket in there... With ARP head studs holding it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you follow the proper torquing procedure? Those multilayer steel are garbage. OEM is usually the way to go, unless you're running insane boost pressure.
