Well for the past 2 months or so i've been burning coolant or something, had to put like a galon a week or something. Never really thought much about it. Well the past cuple of days i've been puting like hafe a galon every 2 days and i've been noticeing white smoke out of my exhaust. so im guessing my head gasket has cracked or something, so im gana do a compression test tommrow and see what i come up with. wish me luck.

Take that head to the shop, and get the flatness checked (or get a straight edge and check it yourself). Head gaskets usually have a reason to blow.

LMAO, sweet

I lost the HG in the EVO. I ran it as long as I could, but was pushing straight oil out the coolant overflow any time I built boost

Stretchy bolts are for pussies...

I just went through that with a fiends car. Poor dude, He took his head into the shop to get milled, and he found out he need a line bore, but it had been milled to the limit. So I sold him one of my 1g spare heads, some arps, new MLS gasket, belt, tentioner; Very next day I hear he's pulling it all back off becasue his thermistat is pegging hot at idle. Let that be a reminder to you. Check your deck surface.
