1990 Legacy with 201K miles Overheating Problems

Post by nsantos23 »

Hi guys,

My 90 legacy wagon, is overheating and shooting white smoke out of the tail pipe, its that my head gasket calling? or is it something else?

I changed the thermostat and plugs, it was running a little rough and nothing still white smoke coming out and smells sweet! damn sounds like a blown head gasket right?

Your head gaskets are toast. Correct.

If you're not going to fix it, offer it for sale on this board - you'd probably get at least half a dozen local offers. We like Legacies here. :)
