Did I blow my head gasket or is it something else?
91 CRX 1.5L
Saturday while driving home from work I was going up a really big hill, tachnically a mountain, and my car started sputtering. Didn't over heat or anything was just acting weird. The next day it wouldnt start. I thought maybe it was bad gas because I used a different station than usual. Got some gas cleaner and let it sit. Next day it fired right up, but there was white smoke coming from the exaust. I checked the oil and noticed it was high, so I changed the oil and filter with the right amount of oil. No smoke! Everything seemed fine, drove it around the block after idling for 20 min. Seemed to work great. About an hour later I took it for a test drive and after about a mile it was overheating. The temp shot all the way up very quick. I got it home and checked the coolant... Didn't lose any, and didn't see oil in it. Also checked the dipstick and didn't see any coolant/ water in the oil. I can't tell if it is a blown head gasket, opr something else that's causing it to over heat... Any help out there???
