How does the coolant look？ Does it bubble?
What does it sound like? Any knocking?
Did a skid, 22R died
Hey guys,
Trailered my Ra65 down to QR for a skid on wet pan, car went good for the first few laps then all of a sudden wouldn't rev, missing like all hell, shit loads of white smoke pours out and sounds like hell.
Now, the car had been sitting for 3 months due to police taking number plates, but before the motor was very strong, reliable and torquey, but when I first started it up for the first time in 3 months the other day it was vibrating a lot, white smoke poured out and was tickety. Checked oil but couldn't get a good reading, oil kept on going all over the dip stick for some reason. So due to it being tickety I assumed it was low on oil as it always had a habit of leaking oil like any 22RE does. So I put like a liter in. Started and moved it the next morning, and noticed a big pool of oil on the ground, so I assumed it was all of the oil we put in leaking out, soooo, I assumed there was either a cracked sump or a main seal that let go to cause all the oil to fall out, instead of worrying or checking we loaded it up and went to QR. as soon as we unloaded put about 4.5 liters in, still sounded horrible, vibrating badly and slightly smoking. Went onto skid pan, first few laps were good, planted 2nd and it would max out 2nd instantly, then all of a sudden, pours out thick white smoke, misses and vibrates horribly. Plugs looked ok, but don't know what it could be, as I'm a Kindy teacher and never had much to do with blown engines haha.
Could it be blown head gasket? Fucked rings? Too much oil? Not enough oil? Any help would be appreciated!

Cut the springs. Lock the diff. Do the dori.

Haven't had a chance to check the oil as the car has been sitting at my mates place since Friday. I'll try and head out tomorrow and check oil and coolant.

If it's misfiring and wont rev, it could be down on compression. White smoke could be coolant or un burnt fuel in the exhaust.
It will rev, but takes longer than usual to do so, and struggles

Cracked a piston or ring land?
