does any one know if i can stick a 12v in it it was a 1998 build date , what do i need , and if i did what about the trans ?? what will control it,

if the head is warp just replace the head? There a company somewhere where you can swap heads and pay 700 bucks for a new one? you can put in a 12V but it does take work and will take more time to confiqure everything..

Just sounds like a blown gasket to me. Pull the head have it surfaced and you should be fine.

Sent with a Droid RAZR in one hand and 14,000 volts in the other.

it is really bad its smoking really bad also i dont know if its rings or what

it has 250k on it idk if the smoke is rings or oil or what i could take a video its white smoke and its alot

Ok thats a sign of a bad head gasket, you could put a gauge on your radiator cap pump it up and see if it bleeds off...

where would i get a pump ??

and when its running and i take oil cap off it has alot of blow by

which company

I would have to get ahold of my friend that did this and he is currently in the mountains chasing elk... But you can take it to a shop and see if they can pressure test the coolant system and you may even be able to rent it from auto zone... it just replaces the cap on the radiator and then you can pressurize it and look for leaks around the head gasket.. the oil cap sit on top of the cylinder head so if the gasket is bad it will have alot of blow by. look at the tube in front of the timing cover and see how much blow by you have there... But if the head is warped its not going to cost any more to just take it to a machine shop to re surface it....

there is so much bow by it blows the cap rite off !!! its spraying oil every where its a bad leak would a blown head gasket make white smoke?? and run really rough ??

yes it will, because the head gasket is what keeps all the compression gases inside the cylinder walls. IF its is bad it will go out side the head, and white smoke is partiely burned fuel and/or coolant. If you head gasket cannot seal then it cannot keep and make compression. What you can do to see what the white smoke is, is to smell it. Does it smell like anitfreeze or fuel? if its antifreeze its likely the head gasket.

Smells like fuel to me??
