#19198, "signs of blown or leaky headgasket....what are they??"
I saw white smoke about a day ago. My car has also been idling at 14vacuum instead of its normal 17 vacuum. Blown headgasket? The car runs damn fine other than I still cant fuel BELOW 125psi at 9psi boost. Other than that, it runs great. Just wondering about headgasket, am I paranoid?

WEll you can look at the back of you engine and see if there is oil below the HG line.. I also had oil in the garage floor, and I could see a green tint in my oil.
You can also do a pressure check and take the thermostate housing off and check for air bubles. Mine was blown for a while and I didn't notice it cause it ran fine, then it started to run shitty and I did a compression check and I had low compression in all cylinders.
Do a compression and leak down test.

No, I have rebuild in my room, not installed yet. I also, still need injecters and all that fuel crap so im gonna do it all at once instead of being low compression with same boost. I hate losing power. I will be getting the 625cc injecters, vortech FMU, and Accel DFI along with the Howell rebuild (which is in my room). After its all said and done and tuned im gonna go get cam2 fuel and tune it for 25psi. This might take a while though, for I am broke at the moment and dfi + injecters are expensive. =<[br />
