Determining if head gasket is blown on a 1994 honda accord Ex VTec and steps on replacing if possible Accord overheated. Hose on lower left side of engine had burst. Hose was replaced. Now car is barely cranking. Smoke coming out of muffler.
White smoke out of the exhaust is one indication that the head gasket is blown. Another is to start the car and check the oil on the dipstick. If it's frothy or looks like a milkshake, this is another indication of a blown head gasket. The milky appearance indicates that coolant is in your engine, caused by a bad head gasket. If none of these symptoms occur, then the problem lies elsewhere. Hope this answers your question and feel free to post back with any other concerns or questions. Thank you.
