I have a 1987 Jag xj6 vanden plas, I recently got it running and the exhaust was white smoke and the temp. was way up....I had had problems with the radiator and replaced it but when I had the bad radiator, my dad's friend put stop leak in it and all the time the radiator was plugged, so my question is do you think it settled in the hoses because a creamy white substance was leaking from new radiator? Need major help with this not wanting to replace head gasket...thank you 18 Answers

over heating, bluish white smoke from exhaust and white creamy substance from radiator.

I have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Is there such thing as engine auto lock if you have a head gasket problem to keep water and oil mixing? I brought my car in for brakes and they've had it for months of problems getting parts and lots of excuses and when i finally gave up on them and went to pick it up it wouldn't start. It was running fine when I brought it there. They told me last they started it, it was blowing white smoke and jags have a bypass or auto disabler of the engine so that it won't cause more damage so maybe that's why its won't start. Is this bullshit? Is there such thing as a hyper lock that makes it that the engine won't turn over? I want to call them out on their lies if this is a lie and have them repair it so I can drive it home like I drove it in there. thank you for any information you can give. Jim 3 Answers
