White smoke??????????

Why is there now white smoke coming out of my exuast AFTER I changed the valve cover seal, and spark plug gaskets???

got rid of it spitting the black stuff, now its spits white smoke,

so i cant pass inspection

what can i do to get rid of it

the inspection guy said i might have a blown piston ring???

pull the plugs and see if one of them is oily, or if one if them is white. Oily you have a bad ring more than likely, white your burning coolent.

does the smoke smell like oil or does it have a sweet smell?

i just changed all those valve seals, and spark seals, no oil inside those, there dried up now,

ill check 2 morrow what it smells like..

i got 42 days to fix it

oil on the buisiness end of the spark plug, not in the hole the plug goes in.

burning coolant?

If the car was spitting out black stuff which is most likely carbon because it was running rich and you said you fixed that. So maybe now you fixed it too good and your running lean. But check the sparkplugs for oil and pop the radiator cap off and look to see if theres any oil loafing around in there.

also check your coolant overflow container for oil. And look on the buttom of the cap for gray oily crap.

Why won't your car pass inspection? My 89 passed with a bad headgasket, and i mean BAD.
