Hi guys.
I am not talking about the woman taking the tobacco company to court.
Riding my bike home tonight, I noticed it started blowing smoke out the exhaust (oily sort of acrid smelling smoke).
Moments later it started to splutter a bit. I pulled over to let her cool down and tried starting again. The odd pop, followed by a puff of smoke was all she could do.
I am guessing head gasket. It was sudden. No big bangs or grinding noises - I had just come off the motorway doing 95km tops. [Edit] Water looks uncontaminated by oil.
My questions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. I live/work around Central Auckland so I am am thinking of calling AMPS. Any other back-up suggestions? Do Coleman's fix old Hondas too? Coleman's are closest too me.
2. Any advances on my theory about the head gasket?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its not really urgent to fix because I have a car but it's sitting on a trailer I have for 24 hours so it makes sense to drop it off tommorow somewhere if I can...
