Default white smoke is it head gasket for sure?

I think its blown head gasket but not 100% sure, theres white smoke through tailpipes after car warms up but why its there so much pressure in the radiator cap that coolant comes out and engine obviously heats up by loosing all that coolant and white smokes its worst when i give it some gas.....anyone with a 2nd opinion? someone said that with stock head n cam and running a blower that the prob its the heads..

Also think it is the head gaskets. Water is going into the engine, and exhaust gases into the radiator.

Default White smoke.

The reason you have so much pressure in your radiator, is the compression from whichever cylinder or cylinders have the gasket or crack problem is not being contained inside the engine. Hope that helps. Sorry to hear you are having a problem. Good luck! Desert Dale.

open the radiator cap and if you can see bubles then your gasket is blown
