Headgaskets generally break so as to allow some coolant into the combustion chambers & then some of it gets in the oil & some of it goes out the exhaust. The part in the oil is the bit(h of it. Losing coolant, difficult startup after sitting all night, smoking exhaust (kinda smells like antifreeze); these are the classic signs of the bad headgasket.

It probably wouldn't consume more oil than usual.

Alright cool. Thanks again...I can always count on you to be quick with the reply.

No smoking exhaust...but I'll keep an eye out.


Off Topic: You seriously need to look into becoming a sales rep for ANY company that makes headers...I think their profits would skyrocket with you on-board...lol.

They should have skyrocketing sales shortly, the 2007 & 2008 SE-R's have TWO precats per engine.

If you begin to worry at all about the headgasket, get an oil analysis from Blackstone Labs. I think they cost like $25 + shipping back. You catch some used oil in their little container, ship it to em, & they analyze & return. If you need help with the results, ADC100 is usually very helpful with that.
