if the white smoke is happening all the time then it sounds as though the head gasket is knackered 
I would hold off getting the clutch if your strapped for cash as you may need to invest in a re build :?
Anyway, if however you have an endless bank account or the bank manager likes you lol then try www.rallynuts.com for a Helix, best clutch available for the R, going off alot of others past experience. Keep us posted.
Goodluck, Ant.

A normal oil change should only require 3.5 to 4 litres of oil :?
The water in the header tank situated to the front left of the engine bay.
After a few miles of running the car on the new oil, check to see if it is creamy. If the water level is low and the oil is creamy then its defo head gasket blown.
Depending on how much damage has been done then you may get away with just changing the head gasket alone however if it has been like this for some time then chances are that the car has picked up a few other inherant probs
Carry out a compression test and see if there is a prob there.

the oil wont be creamy if the head gasket has gone from water to cylinder.
How many inches up the dipstick the oil level is :shock:Speed junkie said:
Was the drain plug in? :?
Do the compression check, but if you're running well over level on the oil, it could be gettig thrown out the the breather into the inlet and smoking out of the exhaust.

Pulsars dont have a header tank Ant they have an expansion bottle which is unpressurised,its an overflow only.
It sounds goosed and it could be anything.
If you want the engine checking I charge 25 pounds to do a compression test, cylinder leakage test and a check of the oil, coolant and turbo. 250 pounds to take engine out strip and measure everything and investigate. If you couldnt afford a rebuild then I would put everything back together with the old bits, so its worth having at least 1000 to hand before I strip as no one want s an engine putting back together with old gaskets its BAD news lol. The problem CAN possibly, however, be confirmed by using a few test tools I have which wouldnt require engine out.
If the scenario comes to the worst and your engine needs a rebuild I have facilities on hand to Reline your block etc.
