Could someone please point me in the direction of the answer for sanitys sake! My car started overheating so I replaced the following parts in order.
-thermostat
-water pump & timing assembly
-all hoses that carry coolant
-radiator cap
Then I decided after 3 mechanics swore that it was a blown head and doing my own diagnostics to confirm it was leaking to do the following...
-head gaskets & bolts (felpro permatorque)
-exhaust gasket
-intake manifold gasket
-throttle body gasket
-knock sensor
Ran for the first time sputtered a bit, ran awesome then started overheating and smoking worse than ever before. The majority of its coming from the exhaust down pipe directly beneath the head. It's all on the passenger side too, the driver side isn't leaking at all. Coolant is also leaking down and forming a puddle of coolant under the oil chiller and filter.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I've been 2 months into working on this car and I'm determined to fix it.
