- Your symptoms all point toward a leak from the cooling system to the combustion chambers, almost certainly leaking head gaskets. I believe the temperature spikes because combustion gasses build up a

- Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions so far. Instead of watching things from the inside of the Tiger, I started it from dead cold this morning and observed things to see the sequence of event

- If it's dense white smoke coming out of the exhaust, and if you run anywhere near a 50/50 antifreeze mix, then you will be able to smell antifreeze in the exhaust, if that's what is causing the smoke

- Your temp sender is located on the intake manifold? This sounds like there is as air bubble near the sender and is reading steam temperature. What temp range thermostat are you using? It seems like

- Ron: The temp sender is on the intake manifold (Tiger). The thermostat is a 160 degree piece. I'm not sure how or why an air bubble would just set itself under the temp sender though. Steve

- Steve ......I would check the thermostat. Put it in a pan of water on the and heat it up. Watch and see the opening action. Also make sure it isn't installed backwards........ John Mears Modesto

- Maybe the lower radiator hose is collapsing initially until some pressure is built up, then it pops open. Hopefully, the "white smoke" is just normal misting on a cool day. Bob Palmer rpalmer@ucsd.e

- I would change the thermostat and check the thermostat housing for any obstructions. I believe your temp spike is due to the thermostat not opening properly and you get a momentary steam pocket at t

- Bob: Good idea. Now that I think of it, when I last installed that hose, the wire coil inside it kind of slid around. I wonder if it has moved, allowing the hose to collapse. I'll check that tommorow
