    yeah ditto, and i think she could, just dont push her ha ha! i learned that the hard way this weekend over heated, my thermostat was stuck shut, replaced that but im worried i caused some head gasket damage, shes puffing little bits of white smoke now under heavy throttle, idk if she did it before but hope i dont blow my head gasket.... sad5

    If you wrecked the gasket you'd have:
    Boiling over or using water or milky water/oil ?

    Haven't had any of thoughts symptoms i think it could be the valve seals, and there seems to be a ton of condensation in the muffler tip, and some blue/white smoke when i lift off the throttle.

    Re: Matt's 1989 Celica GT-S

    oh damn.... i think it may be the valve clearances the smoking stops once the engine warms up, or is driven some so im confued...

    if it was valves it would always be smoking because the oil would get thinner... it could be rings?? :cry:

    Yeah rings, you shouldn't rev/drive it when it's cold

    A car that has good rings & seals will have clean oil for a long time, bet yours is black
