white smoke usually means head gasket, but could also be ecu

Is this the one you put the turbo on?

I figured it out. Took the head off after doing a compression check. Had 95 psi in the first 3 cylinders. and 190 int the 4Th one. The gasket failed between cylinders 1 too 2, and 2 too 3. I did have the turbo on and got it all working good and was on when this happen. But now I'm going to sell it because my dog got parvo and its going to cost i pretty penny to get him fixed up. So i have to make the money up somewhere.

Parvo is a 10 day virus, and only shows up at the 5-7th day, keep your
dog hydrated and anti biotics for the infection that they get in the
intestinal tract, the problem is usually they can't keep anything down
so this is best done as an IV treatment

Don't wait till the dog is like a flat potato chip, it's too late then, get the
treatment started soon, and don't let the vet tell you it's going to be like
$900 find another vet, call around, whatever, this treatment is not expensive
they just want you to think it is and they are performing some great miracle
when the dog gets better

Hope your dog gets over this soon
