Default car smoking white....?

okay so i put my head back on after a cam seal leak... and i turned it on and it started smoking white my uncle pulled the plug from cylinder 3 and said its white your getting air.....

he checked my intake manifold bolts and a couple were stripped and maybe a few holding i have a HONDATA intake mani so it was kinda hard to tighten.....


i had been boosting a little before this and id run maybe a couple of times and then it would die when i put it in neutral,

"what could cause this smoke and it dieying out after couple of runs? the intake manifold?"

because your intake manifold is stripped in a few places coolant is getting into your head you need to fix the threads and tighten them down put some hondabond around the coolant hole on the hondta gasket between the gasket and man.!

Sounds like water in the cylinders (bad gasket?), which can dilute the air/fuel mixture (hence your tendency to die). check your coolant levels constantly. if your constantly running low on coolant, buy new gaskets.
