I suspect that my head gasket may be going on my F22a1. I had all the belts and water pump replaced, along with a full coolant flush. Now I'm seeing the tell tale signs of white smoke. I'm assuming its a bad head gasket. I still haven't checked the coolant yet, but its on the list. It gets dark so early that when I get home from my job I can't see anything because its so hard out.
Now, I'm aware that having a BHG will affect drivability. I'm not seeing any real evidence yet. My car still runs reasonably well. It still pulls well. My question lies in, will this eventually degrade? My temperature gauge shows operating temperatures in the normal levels (god I hope its accurate).
My reasoning is that I won't be driving the car much after the end of the year, and eventually want to upgrade. However, I will be making a roughly 6 hour trip in the spring and I just want to make sure the car will be able to make it, assuming I see no degradation in drivability.
