After that waz dont the car waz runing fine a cuple of hour. Still sell like burning coolant inside the car the guy told me that its burning wat waz left from befor so i paid no mind to it. Oh! By the waz this waz done in Va where i got the car. i got the car on dec.6,2007 from the shop. i drove around all that night to let the car beak in a lil befor make the trip back to Pa the next morning. (wasnt beating on it at all ) During the ride the car temp jumped up and down coolant waz over flowing and wat not but me being the way i am keep thinking the car is breaking in. (FYI i waz driving like and old lady the whole way let off the gas every time the car try to boost ) So when i got back to philly i cheak coolant and oil every thing waz still clean and still toped off but coolant waz still coming out the over flow. i just parked it and left it for a cuple of day untill i got my tags done which waz about a week later. the car start up fine but while driving temp gauge jump up to hot and fall back down i stop to take a look everything seem to be ok. when i started it up again thick white smoke came out the muffler so i tryed not to drive it as much. at this time i put about 3000 miles sence i got the head done and during that time my coolent look like it had oil in it, and smoke lots of white smoke. i got the oil changed on wendsday and yesterday morning started it up to take my girl to school at first every thing waz fine but then engine temp jump up and stayed up white smoke fill the inside if the car coming in from the vent so i pull over cut it off poped the hood and saw white smoke come out from a hose by the firewall on the pass side i open the rad cap and alot of steam came out i look in the over flow its waz filled to the top overflowing and steaming as well. i let it cool off for about 15 20 min the started up and poor more coolant in the rad and close up the cap and try to limp it home and its been siting like that ever sence. so any idea wat can be the prob im pretty sure u gonna tell me its a BHG and im pretty sure my self now that its a BHG so wat i got dont in VA was just a waste of time and money
