Mercruiser 470 starting issue please help!

Need more info about the smoke. It really can't be coming directly from the plugs. Try to find out where exactly it's coming from. Like Terry said, make sure that there's no moisture on the head/block/manifold that's burning off (does it go away after a while?)

That's what I was picturing

figured out the smoke fixed that and now all of a sudden tons of water in the oil which wasn't there before. This might be game over for me, I bought a full set of seals and gaskets but I don't know where to start. Bummed

Dang! Water or antifreeze? Is the coolant level dropping?
