yo guys so just replaced my head gasket, all was fine for about 3-5 mins until i saw water droplets coming out of my tailpipe & white smoke, and i thought here we go again, so i opened up my radiator cap and bubbles where rising up, then checked my oil dipstick and u can see a cluster of little bubbles, can this just be coolant residue, from the first time i replace gasket cause these were all the same symptoms... LOL cause i already bought another HG and am about to take this shit apart again.. lmk what u guys think & what i should do..

Was the head resurfaced? Possible crack in the head or block.

Flush your system twice. I did a HG on a Toyota pickup and when I went to check the coolant, it had oil. Sometimes it just falls into the water jackets when you remove the head.

you need to clean all the crap out from before.. either that or cracked head/block

Yah I took the head to a machine shop and they decked the head, im in the process of replacing the head gasket fuck it.. yo but after i replace the head gasket once again i guess its cool if i see white smoke and droplets coming out the exhaust for a while huh?

How long was the car sat before you finish the job? Possibly just moisture

Did you check if the block was true with a straight edge/feeler guage?

The car sat for like about 2 weeks had to balance school and work, finished last night turned it on this morning and saw all that crap i wrote up top, might have just been condensation or something huh..... Nah didn't check the block with a feeler gauge, whats it suppose to measure out to?, probably gonna do that since the head is off again

Hey bud. Make sure your intake manifold gasket is sealed. If it's leaking by the water port it'll go right into the first cylinder.
