cracked piston

[Alex EX]

is it safe driving the car if its cracked? it smokes a lil bit...

[Alex EX]

bump, might be a piston ring

[JDMjunkie]

well have you seen the piston? what color smoke is it? if its white then you have a bad headgasked or if its blue you probaby have bad rings or bad valve seals

[HF22T]

im gonna vote on bad rings its a typical thing

[Alex EX]

the smoke is white.. so can i still drive it and not boost?

[HF22T]

rip that head off and replace the gasket asap its a simple job you only really need the valve cover gasket the head gasket its self real easy 1day job not even

[JDMjunkie]

yup if its blowin white smoke then you got a bad head gasket

[Alex EX]

i took it to a shop and they took off a inlet line to the turbo and it was blowing white smoke in there, and also when you crank up the car its kinda lazy so they said its either a bad piston or piston ring. i just want to know if its safe to drive it with the problem.. my antifreeze is clear

[HF22T]

is your oil watery ?

you could have a bad turbo seal you could be suckin in coolant

[Alex EX]

nah the oil is fine, the turbo is fine, its only oil cooled

[Alex EX]
