headlifting? hairline cracks?
It's a rebuilt b18b1 1995 integra ls engine. OEM specs, when it starts cold it runs fine, but when I let it warm up a little and fan kicks in, it starts to blow white smoke. It's my 2nd headgasket thinking it was the head gasket. But now I'm thinking it's either headlifting, warpage, or some hairline cracks. I pressure tested the head and came out clean. It's either the block, or headlifting issues. What are the symptoms of headlifting. I have some stock head bolts on it currently. No power adder, just bone stock motor. Freshly rebuilt. Also, pulling out my spark plug wires, it's soaked with oil. HELP!

Re: headlifting? hairline cracks?
it doesn't blow white smoke when it first starts, runs fine, no detonation, idles perfectly. how can i check where the leak is entering or coming from? obviously coolant is entering the combustion chamber and oil seems to have coolant mixture already. When it first happen, i thought i blew the headgasket because oil and coolant mixture had begun in less than 20 miles breaking the motor in. Then I replaced the headgasket and started the car, same thing!
