I have another thread about having problems with my cooling system, here.

Anyways. I was told I might have a blown head gasket by some people.

When running my car the other day attempting to fill with coolant, I got a lot of white smoke out of the exhaust, and I'm pretty positive it had a lot of water coming out. The coolant (which is dark brown), was bubbling out and over the fill tank with the cap off while the engine was running.

I haven't checked the oil yet, which I just recently changed. What are seem ways that I'll know for sure its a blown head gasket ?

 

you could puul the spark plugs after running see if thers water on them just be carefull about pressure blowing out of the hole also pressure check the radiator

 

How do I go about pressure checking it ?

 

a shop should be able to do it for you theres a tool that you pump to put pressue in the system with out running it most mechanic have one

 

look like this

 

Ah ok. I still need to attempt to flush the cooling system again and refill it. I'm really hoping it's not a blown head gasket.

 

i would not waist the time if the head gaskets blown but thats my opinion

 

Well there's not even any fluid in the cooling system right now, so the jeeps not going anywhere.

 

is ther water in the oil it would be milky color if ther is

 

I'll have to check it when I get home. I'll post back later.

 

 

Thanks for the help though, appreciate it

 

def a blown head gasket dude i did my 99 cherokee 3 days ago pulled whole head off had head cleaned intake manifold cleaned take the head off i bet you got blown head gasket and anti freeze in pistons now when cleaning head use solvent and rockers i used straight gas let them soak like 3 days. also check oil if it looks like a milk shake color u got anti freeze in the oil drain oil and anti freeze change oil filter also never use the same head bolts ever get new ones trust me dont want to torque old ones in and they snap. also get head gasket kit worth the money. now when everything installed check your coolant hoses to check for leaks and bulge spots. also when you start her back up ur gonna get white smoke this because the anti freeze in the exaust. let it run for good 2 hours and also change the oil and filter again after doing 500 miles your set to go bud.

 

Yea well I'm not really knowledgeable fixing cars, unless we are talking electric and audio.

So if it is blown, its not something I would be able to fix. And sorry I haven't updated the thread. I haven't really had the time to check the oil or anything. I'll have to get to it tomorrow.

 

Well checking my oil, it looks perfectly fine. I recently changed it too, so its still pretty clean, and it doesn't look all milky.
