I believe I have engine trouble

I am starting to think I might have done something to those cool lint seals. I have been smoking a little bit after that big snow storm the first of this year in Oregon. Today it smoked the most. It smoked so bad you couldn’t really see anyone behind you. I looked in my radiator; cool lint is down to where you can’t see it, just below the first row. Last time I looked, witch was the first of this year my oil and cool lint was ok.

I don’t know what to think right now other then I believe my engine is shot right now, and best not to take it anywhere.

I just want to hear some input on this.
Thank you everyone,



Note: white in color smoke, and sometimes I smell something like syrup.

yuh your coolant seals are toast
if you are getting good compression you could just replace the gaskets and soft seals

or if you have the $$$ do a full rebuild
