Ok, Im done screwing around with this trying to see if this might be a head gasket or not, I'm wanting to replace the stupid thing now. How hard would it be to replace the head gaskets on my CSVT? I'm almost positive that I have coolant seeping into the cylinders (back ones) when it sits overnite and thats causing the hard start up in the morning and white smoke. (stays under 500 rpms until i gas it to burn off what i believe is coolant based on the white smoke and somewhat sweet smell). Can I get by with just the two head gaskets and bolts? Really dont have the money for the whole head gasket set ($200+). Also, would Haynes be good enough to guide me thru this or is there somewhere else i can look for help? There is no post up on here for it but looking at the UIM/LIM write up with pics, it appears that if I take the UIM off, I can access the heads the best and go from there? Any suggestions or am I in the right direction?
