Fml. After changing my head gasket my jeep smoked like this for maybe 15 minutes. I got in and kept it reved at 5xxx RPMs for a good 5 minutes and it stopped smoking. I filled it with water and no coolant so I can't tell if the oil is contaminated. It hasn't smoked since. Normal?

Drain the water and add coolant. Drive it for a while and see how it does. If its still good drain the radiator once more and top it off with good coolant and see how it goes.

I'm going to flush my cooling system hopefully this weekend. How many gallons of coolant will I need? (estimate)

Someone decided they wanted my Chiltons manual more than me. I was reading it at work one day and it "grew legs".
