Hey guys so I recently swapped in a JDM type r engine into my em1 and it seems to be running fine except I'm having some issues with white/greyish smoke at idle after revving it a little. Anyways I'm aware white smoke is coolant and I just did the head gasket so I'm not sure whats going on. The oil is a little low and seems dark for having 500km since I started driving it, coolant is still green but Ive had to top up the reservoir twice already. I just checked my spark plugs and they seem to be fine so I'm kinda stumped as to why the coolant and oil seem to be low, especially after having just done the head gasket... My only fear is the rings are toast

If the rings were toast you would burn oil. In this case it's Coolant. Is it cold outside? That's condensation. Warped head?

No it's around 20 Celsius. Why would the oil be low? Ah maybe, I got the head redone at laskey so it should be good. Can't think of any reason the coolant would be burning unless I got a bad head gasket?
