My headgasket went out on my type R and i had no smoke, no water in the oil... mine was leaking pressure from the cylinders into my water jacket.. make me push all my water out the over flow tank..
the thermostat was my first thought... So I removed it and went for another test drive... still no dice...
and yeah, thats what appears to be happening. Start the car, instant bubbles/water movement. and a rougher than normal idle... I thought it was the timing being off from the recent tune up, and that is why it missed some at idle, but didn't above like 1,500 rpms...
