Re: white smoke

You have done some work on the head, has it been "cooked"? if so the head may have a warp in it.

10 ft/lbs then 15 ft/lbs finally 19 ft/lbs<br />alternate bolts evenly down / up and side to side the on the head.<br />Look for strange piston wash when you pull the head but a big leak will be obvious.<br />Surface it before reinstall or you are wasting your time.<br />Find out if/why and repair.
