So on the way home from work this morning, I parked for a few minutes on the center stand and go in the store. 5 minutes later I come out and WOW, tons of smoke out the right side! I still thought it was oil, drove it another 20 miles and didn't notice any more smoke. I get home, turned off, then restarted again - lots more smoke out the right. Doesn't smell like oil, so I checked the coolant level - almost empty. Must be head gasket?!
So while I'm in there, I'm going to change timing belts again, and valve stem seals. Should I change both head gaskets at the same time or just hope for the best? It would really suck to button it all back up and have the other go in a month or two. What would you do?
