Ok i need big help fast!!!

[cruzinbill]

So yah im driving back home this morning and im doing about 55(steady driving).
Well all of a suddon it feels like my power steering went out.
about 20 seconds later my temp gauge spikes.
Now im only like a minute from home and on a very narrow road with some traffic so i cant stop. well when i pull into the house i notice some white smoke out the exhaust.
So the first thing i think is the turbo finally went out(I knew it was aboout on its last lag, havent had a chance to swap it out.
So a little help what do you guys think.
And there is no milk shake or air in the coolant.

a little off topic but do you have the high res of the pic in your avatar

It does sound like a BHG.

When i had one i had no white smoke, no milky oil, no really low comp #'s, and my radiator fluid was clean as can be. But then again i blew like 3 or 4 cyl's lol

but dont jump to conclusions just yet, do a leakdown test and a cooling system pressure test.

 

[cruzinbill]

no im not sure where the hell i put it at ill search on my pc for it. And im like 99% sure its a BHG there was coolant on my #2 spark plug.
when i pulled it out, itwas soaked.

Lets see... power steering went out then the temperature spikes...

Broken belt? Broken several belts? Crank pulley broken off key? Overheat causes bhg.........

Sabotage here's that pic you wanted:

and bill, i'd say you have a BHG, sorry man! pull that head off, have it lapped, lap the block/clean it super well, and slap in a cometic MHG!

mm now thats sexy, time for it to go into a few signatures

Does the PS drive off the same belt as the water pump? that would explain the loss of PS followed by a temp spike.

Smoking tailpipe is harder to say for sure. Wet plugs are never good to see =(

no, alternator/water pump are the same if i remember correctly. powersteering has it's own belt.

oh yah lol figured out the ps problem also it was dumb just belt happend to be worn out also lol

 

[cruzinbill]

So unless any one can say other wise im going with coolant on plugs = BHG

 

[shaeff]

do a leakdown test to be absolutely positive.

Ok shaeff since i have no access to a leak down tester would ibe able to tell still with compression tester. I am tryn to find out for sure here because the faster I do I can repace it since I already haemost the stuff to do it any way.
