I started the car up and holy ****, the motor is skipping, and white smoke pouring out of the tailpipes, I checked the oil, nothing in the oil, no coolant, no dirt, nothing. Also the new coolant I put in the radiator seems to have dissapeared rather rapidly, what else could this be, if my head is cracked I am 100% ****ED!

Head gasket? Wont know until you tear it down. Try to figure out what side the white smoke is coming from so you know what side to pull off.

If the head is cracked then coolant will go into the block most likely. Then you would see the dreaded milkshake. Coolant is obviously going somewhere and should be noticeable. Smoke coming out of both tailpipes or just one?

A head crack can be on a part between the outside and the wall rather than the coolant side..I think. In this case it may not show up on dispstick...right?

if they are new heads, i'd be surprised if one was cracked. probably a gasket is more likely

Proabably a HG... OR maybe the block is not true?

Did you use new bolts on the heads?

Just rethinking... is our intake manifold dry? Could it not be that too?
