I dont have a cossie but on my XR i had a problem with my engine stalling. It was spitting white smoke back out of the air filters. I was convinced this was leaking head gasket and changed it - but it wasn't. It turned out to be knackered disbributor and the white smoke was just normal combustion smoke being spat out when the engine stalled.

head gaskets are an unknown entity really, when they go, they go. I'm runnin stg2 on a std head gasket, but no point changing it till it goes....................which will probably be soon
