yeah you might be ok...keep a CLOSE eye on it though...make sure u dont leak any anti-freeze and check the motor to make sure you dont have any leaking out anywhere...the biggest worry w/ a bad head gasket is warping the head though..and theres no way to tell whether you're doin that or not without digging into it.

check your oil for coolant, easyist way is to pull off the oil fill cap, if it is whiteish..... your in trouble..... if its not drain the oil and look for any "milky" oil [/align]

here's an Idea.. is it WHITE smoke or BLUE smoke. make sure you know the difference

White smoke=burning collent

Blue smoke=Burning oil

Make sure your oil is not over filled! if it's normal and it's really White smoke and not blue. it's a head gasket FTL
