car over heated suspected blown headgasket (negative)
Whats up everyone. i really need your help here.
about a week ago as i was driving home my civic (d16z) overheated, as i pulled over and came to a stop, the car died. While dead white smoke came gushing out of radiator cap opening and exhaust. After that the car would crank but wouldn't start, so i did a compression test and all cylinders read about 30 psi(dry). so i went a head and took my head off to find that the head gasket was not blown( still in tact)
so my question is, what do you guys think may be the problem?
another question: my cam is set to tdc, are all valves supposed to be closed? or are there a few that are open?
i was told valves may be stuck,
have any of you experienced anything similar to me.
i really need help guys. Thanks to all those who took the time to read and help me out.
