I believe my head gasket is bad or wasnt installed properly. Every time i start it a cloud of white smoke comes out. Spark plugs had a whitest tinge to them as well. The rebuilt engine only has about 1200km on it so i believe it just wasnt installed properly or torqued correctly. Stupid people, now im gonna take it out at school and just change it there, shouldnt be 2 much work. Its still under warrenty so all the parts (head gasket, head bolts) will be paid for. When you want the job done right just gotta do it yourself. LOL so true!

i would send those heads out to a machine shop to be checked for cracks when you have them off. better safe than sorry. i have gotten a rebuilt engine with a cracked block before so it is possible.
