it feels like you are hitting the rev limiter earlier then normal. you can hear it starting to miss.

Well I think my head gasket is blown again. No idea how. Hopefully it will be fixed for free since it was replaced less than 3 months ago and I havent done anything to the engine since then.

Did you torque everything to spec?

It's odd that a new OEM HG would blowout....

ZZP did it, I emailed them today. Tim said he doubted the HG was leaking again. So im going to look for a small coolant leak this weekend. Anybody ever heard of another reason my exhaust smoke would be white?

Also I dont think it "blew out" If anything it is a very small leak. Its taken two months for me to see a noticeable drop in coolant level.

Corn is often white on a cold start. Alcohol absorbs water from the air.

Heck when I would start my car in winter sometimes it would be just a huge white cloud lol

this was last winter when it was about 5*

anyway, check the radiator drain valve. i bumped mine i'm assuming during the last trans swap and it drips enough that i have to add a little once a month or so. i'm not gonna bother fixing it till the new motor goes in since its that slow of a leak. didn't notice till i left it parked for a few days at once.
