I agree with Mel, your engine is sick!

And it sounds like it's time for an overhaul.

If you need spark plug extensions to keep it running, you need to overhaul. JMO, but you're only biding your time with those things.

3 years is alot of time for a gasket to go bad. Especially considering they can go bad in 3 days, or 3 months, or 30 years. There's no guarentee that you're going to get a full life of service out of any engine component, just the faith you put in the quality of the brand.

Not to say that's what's wrong, but if you're getting lots of white smoke, you're getting water in the combustion chambers. Maybe a cracked head, or high up in the cylinder. You don't have to have water in the oil, or vice-versa, for there to be a cracked block or bad gasket. That's just a good sign.
This thread, so far...
