Water lvl is the same I've just double check. there is no white smoke till it hits 90 then every time I pull away there is loads of white smoke then it clears till I stop again. With in 4mile drive the temp was about 80.

It will only just go above 90 but once it hits 90 the white smoke starts its only when pulling away. No noises or loss of power at all.

Its not normal for hdis to run at 90 guys, about 75 is the norm. Sounds like hg to me, why else the rise in coolant temps.

Are you sure its white smoke cus burning oil smoke is very very light blue if its only burning alittle i know this cus my valve seals went on mine and oil was seeping in slowly not enuff to notice over a week but a puff of smoke on start up and pull off but nothing after yes it may well be a hg but i would monitor your levels for a few days and temp see what happens never think the worst i thought my hg went my heart sunk but like i said changed my valve seals without removing the head or putting rope down the hole lol i have the correct tool for doing valve seals without removing the head...just observe first mate never fear the worst...

Its not too bad a job if you give yourself plenty of time. If your stat was the problem, then the top rad hose wouldnt be getting hot.

If it was the valve seals why would the temp be really high?
