HELP --CLUTCH Problems--

[zimmer]

new problem today-drove car 4 a while....it overheated......dirty blocked rad.....but smoke is coming out by the spark plugs....dont know where exactly

any ideas....head gasket maybe?

[jetboy]

the exhaust manifold is directly below your spark plugs - any oil leaking off your valve cover or water/coolent off the pipe fittings toward the front of the block would make smoke come from that area as it burns off. i suspect your calve cover gasket is leaking oil- if it sat for a long time-- thats what you get. thats not a big deal, just go get another one.

if its coming from your spark plugs you got a whole nother set of problems--

but make sure they are seated well-- and it sounds like this car has sat a long time- at LEAST change the oil, throw some marvel mystery oil, in there, and put in new plugs before you go hot-rodding around.
