Great White Smoke

[jrolfedrev]

I have a 94 Disco with 171K but rebuild (new block) @ 145K. My Disco was loosing coolant due to heater core leak then I did a bypass and it fixed the heater core but I forgot the plenum chamber to rocker cover hose leak until my engine overheat couple days so I replace the hose and no more leak but I'm losing coolant and a massive white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. I checked my oil and it seems like water has creep in, could it be head gasket leak? Is my engine still good?

Thanks in advance.

It still could be a head gasket. But... if this happened right after an overheat, chances are something has warped or slipped or cracked--it could be expensive.

So far no tapping noise hopefully block still good and maybe time to shave the heads.

either you warp a head, or blew a head gasket. these engines do not tolerate alot of heat,aluminum..
