It will not start because you now have a major compression leak and the most likely cause is a damaged head gasket from running the engine in an overheat condition. You may also have cracks in the cylinder head and the cylinder head may be warped. This will not be a cheap repair.

White smoke is caused by radiator coolant entering the cylinder. The white smoke is steam because the coolant is 50% water.. Any amount of radiator coolant that enters the combustion chamber by any means will produce a white steam that will be present in the exhaust. As mentioned, the coolant will most likely be getting into the combustion chamber via the damaged head gasket.

You may also find coolant has entered the lubrication passages in the engine and contaminated the oil which will be evident on the oil dipstick, especially the colour of the oil. You might also find there is some cross oil contamination in the coolant which will show easily because it won't mix with the coolant.

Don't try and start the engine. You will do more damage if you do.
The cylinder head will have to be removed and checked for straightness and checked for any cracking. In the least it will most likely be warped from the overheat and if so it will need to be machined. The valves and valve seals will also need to be checked. Once the cylinder head has been sorted the engine block will need to be checked for straightness and for any signs of cracking. A new head gasket will need to be fitted before the cylinder head can be refitted.

It probably does have a blown head gasket unfortunately. And it will not crank? or just not fire up?

If it will not even crank, the motor may have seized. If so the damage may be so severe that another motor from the wreckers yard is the best option, unless you are handy with a wrench..

SOURCE: have a mazda 626 1999 it has a problem over

It has a blown head gasket..When the motor warms up because it has an aluminum head expands allowing it to leak.When theres smoke comming from the tail pipe and your loosing water its actually going into the motor and its burning it in the cylinders and getting water on the plugs causing it to miss..You'll need to replace the head gasket..Try not to run it like that to long because it will crack the head and that will cost quite abit more..Good luck and have a great day

SOURCE: 88 thunderbird white smoke and water coming from tail pipe

Possibly a blown head gasket, letting coolant into the cylinders to be burned. White smoke is usually coolant burning. Have the engine's compression tested to verify.

the white smoke is coolant burning, a cracked head or head gasket would cause this.

Spitting sputtering

These things are notorious for having crank sensor failures. Not too expensive and not too dificult to replace. I would try that first.

Spits gas and smokes alot from the tail pipe

Hi Dave,

I appreciate you asking mr to help you with your problem.
However, I am not really certain what you are describing here. Are you saying that you have RAW, UNBURNED FUEL coming out the tailpipe? Or are you saying that there is an excessive amount of LIQUID coming out the tail pipe and you are not really sure WHAT it is?

If the latter is the case, and you have a lot of white steam coming out of the tail pipe, you really need to check your engine coolant level. You could have something like a blown head gasket causing this. A blown head gasket will cause the engine to push engine coolant out the exhaust.

Backfiring, rough idel

I would check the exhaust pipe a little closewr. White smoke can also mean a blown head gasket. Check the tail pipe to see if moisture is present. Also check coolant level. A blown head gasket can also cause related problems.
