Hi to all, if anybody can give me some advice I would really appritiate it,
Ok so i have a 99 freelander and it wad white smoke from the exhaust and losing coolant and a little creaming of the oil...... So I decided to change the head gasket myself stripped it down cleaned it up and the head looked ok a little pitted by one set of valves but no to bad sanded it down checked for warping and there was none none on the block either, use a new multi layer gasket and it all looked good left coolant in it over night and it was fine, it also started fine the next day then I noticed I was still getting a little whit smoke thinking it may be water still sitting in the system I drove on but after a couple of days I checked the coolant again and the bottle was dry and it was still smoking I took it for a quick run the popped the bonnet and opened the filler cap to the water a little and the pressure was there and the coolant filled up again so I took the oil filler cap off and white smoke started puffing out of there stopped the engine and checked the dip stick no creaming not sure what to do next to solve this problem could my head be creaked do I need to look at a replacement one what's my next step can anybody advise me pls
I just wanna get this freelander working I have sunk a lot of money into it I have already shopped a recon ird front propshaft and vcu which I was going to change soon but now I'm at a loss for what to
