Thanks guys for all the help. I now know i have it in backwards. I hope that is the cause of my vapor out the pipe. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow to to fix it. hope that will do it. Night night meds are kickin in, and if im not in bed when they really hit....Thats where ill end up sleeping.

 

Spring goes in this hole. Any jiggle device or burp valve goes at 12:00 position. Be sure to purge air out of cooling system. If you have been running this way for a while the white vapor could be head gasket. Be sure to monitor coolant use for a while, plus don't trust the heat gauge, get a scanner or Ultra Gauge.

 

Ahhh the pic helped a lot... Theres no jiggle device or burp valve on the thermostat. I hope that the vapor was caused from back pressure, the stat wasnt in there that long. Again thanks for all the help, gonna see what today brings.

 

Well i think i broke my baby. Put the stat back in (The right way) Drove about a mile or so and have a large cloud of white smoke coming from the tail pipe.
I dont have it in me anymore to do the head gaskets myself, so to the shop it will go. Sometime.
How safe is it to drive til then?

 

Also just changed the oil a couple days ago, and ist now a milky color.

 

What you have, I'm afraid, are classic signs of a bad head gasket. Not sure if it's related to thermostat orientation. Then again, the spring might not have properly warmed up causing overheating.
Whatever the case may be, you got problems. In the meantime, enjoy some more good drugs.

 

Well John, Paul, George, and Ringo arent being any help to me right now. There hanging out by my pool.
But as long as i keep water in it can i drive short distances with it like the way it is?

 

NO!!! You CANNOT drive it at all like this, you will ruin the engine.
If you cant get it fixed soon, like in the next week or so, then change the oil and get all of the coolant out of the crankcase because if you dont you will rust everything inside the engine and ruin it.

 

DAMN!!!!. Thanks. ill drain everything Hope to get it to the shop in a week.
This sucks. The voices in my head are not happy.

 

DITTO ON WHAT SPIKE SAID running the engine with the milky oil will kill the cam and crank bearings it will need to be towed to a shop and made clear to the tow truck and shop DO NOT START THE ENGINE BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND NO COOLANT

btw I would drain the coolant, leave it drained and put in fresh oil
I would say leave off the overflow cap with coolant but you do not know how bad it is blown( with the cap off or realy loose no pressure to blow water into the engine)
