I just replaced a blown head gasket(Disclaimer: I'm quite a novice
mechanic and this was my first major engine work), and drove to work(only 2
miles) for the past two days with no problems. This morning I drove a
little further to get a bagel, the thermostat kicked in, water in the
engine, white smoke, auto club, towed home.
I had the head spot welded(it was quite corroded) and resurfaced, and
pressure tested before I replaced the gasket. Does this mean the block is
toast? What's the recommended repair or how do I check the block? Anybody
got a 1725 block??
Bummed,
