Guys, help me with this. My car started overheating 2 months ago and I havent driven it since. I decided to work on it today, found the leak which turned out to be a hose going to the intake manifold. Replaced that... took the car out for a test drive after. Car was just running reallly rich. White smoke coming out of the muffler. the heat was going from normal(really hot) to just being a little warm. My friend that was with me has lots of experience working on hondas is telling me its my head gasket and hes 100& sure. What are some symptoms of a blown head gasket? is there anything else i can check to make sure without performing a compression test. this is a gsr 2000 stock motor just bolt ons

head gasket , bad compression
white smoke gives it away
and if that doesnt give it away look at milky oil

another way to check is on cold start, top the coolant and leave the radiator cap off and see if bubbles keep rising from the radiator.

pull the spark plugs and pressureize the radiator...crank the motor over..it will most likely spray water out of the plug holes...

also you can take the radiator cap off,start the car...and if it pushes all the water out of the radiator its got a blown head gasket
