Houston...... We have a big...big problem
I copied this from my earlier post. I started off just looking at the cost of a new motor, by the end of the day I need a new motor
 Original thread post-- Well she died today, RIP, noise got terrible then it turned off. Got it restarted and had faint smoke coming from the top of the engine, centered, back by the firewall. I'm going to pull the plugs and hopefully do a compression test. What a time a year for this. Thanks everyone for your continued support.

Re: Houston...... We have a big...big problem
How can I tell if it's a head gasket?

Re: Houston...... We have a big...big problem
Oh shiit....i read your post earlier this morning. kinda hoped you'd get the next one lined up before this one let go on ya. go for a crate engine from Ford unless you are absolutely sure of an engine builder. been alot of us get screwed by people who claim to know what the F they are doing when they really don't. Good luck bro.

Re: Houston...... We have a big...big problem
comp test, ive never really had to test one, the last head gasket i had blow it was puffing coolent out through the tail pipes, so it was kinda a no brainer. since your in houston there are lots of great engine builders, id recomend houston performance in tomball or psi in webster.
