Engine runs really rough. Water and White smoke pour out of the tail pipe and oil is milky. My guess is head gaskets. Any suggestions on anything else? Also, anyone know any tricks to see if I have a cracked block. I have an 87 Chevy, 350.
do a compression test, if you find two next to each other down on compression that would indicated blown head gasket between the cylinders,.. you find one with "0" compression you might end up with a crack in block, but you are not going to know for sure till you pull it.. either way you need to pull it... if you have dual exhaust pull the smokey side first.. also look at the plugs.. lot of times they will be wet and even fill up with water when you remove the plug.. I have also heard of a trick were you jack up the front of car, open the radiator cap ,start the engine, and look for bubbles in the coolant.. don't know if it works but you could try and let us know. eugene p.s. good luck.
