airjordan223 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 white smoke is usually anti-freeze. if its got a blueish tint then its oil (also you can smell the oil burning) could be a head gasket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xd980 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 but i put a new one you said you got the new head from the junkyard? by chance did you take it to a machine shop and have them check to see if it was warped? or get it resurfaced? sounds kinda like that new head gasket you have put in is no longer new and didn't make a good seal...
