Posted February 6, 20223 yr comment_635498 Hey guys, I'm kinda freaking out, I just blew my head gasket and my car was billowing white smoke and stuff, but the oil was still normally colored, not creamy. The head gasket had blow near cylinder 6. So I replaced the head gasket and then engine started up no white smoke and it was sounding beautiful. But when I started it, there was antifreeze coming off the timing chain (I started it without the valve cover on). I thought that was really weird, but I was an idiot and put the valve cover on and ran it for a couple minutes and then when I checked the oil was pure white. Is there anything that would have caused that besides a crack in the block or head. Did I miss something when I was putting the head back on? The oil wasn't white, just the exhaust. I am lost. Please help! Thanks so much Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/66318-fixed-head-gasket-but-now-the-oil-is-white-1980-280zx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 7, 20223 yr comment_635522 Did you check the head and block for flatness? What caused the head gasket failure?
