2lt surf problems

Post by dave_surf »

gday guys
ive recently bought 1990 2.4td surf ssr limited with 220odd kms with no mods at all
it runs fine, underpowered but nothing wrong
recently went for a short 4x4 and a few nuts and as i took the clutch off for 2nd gear it revved out to redline and i quickly turned it off
waited 5 minutes or so and started it again and it pissed out a huge cloud of white smoke idled a bit high then came back down and ran fine
its happened a few times since and now it chews coolant and bubbles through the radiator
i took the rocker cover off and its already got a pro topline head (now racing head service) so im thinking it hasnt cracked the head and just a gasket?
does anyone have an idea on wats going on on the first drama.??
and also if there is a guide to replace the head gasket, ive done a few before but none on such a complicated engine
thanks alot
dave
