Smoking

[99 Cobra]

I am not very mechanically inclined and i was just wondering how i could check to see if the rings are going bad or the head gaskets are going bad?

[SpectorV]

what color is the smoke?

compression test will check for rings being bad or valve seal leaks

[99 Cobra]

what if i do a coolant pressure test to see if the head gasket is leaking? If it is leaking wont the oil be milky?

Only if the coolant is leaking into the oil :P

alot of mod motors suffer from leaky valve seals.
