white smoke
Alright i got a b18c block bored to 85mm with wiesco pistons and forged rods 12.5 cc and a stock ITR head with JUN 3 cams and supertech valvetrain and flat face valves.
my problem just happend today while coming off the highway. when i came to a stop and the light and my car just started sputering and white smoke or grey smoke started to come out my exhaust. so i stop did a visual inspection and nothing i just smelt coolant of some sort not oil.
when i got home i did a compression check and it was like 270ish all across. and i checked my coolant to see if any oil none. then i pulled the plugs and saw cylinder #3 had oil or coolant on my sparkplug. then i looked down the spark plug whole and saw that my piston was wet or oily. so then i drove around the block i smashed it to see if i see smoke that way i saw nothing just when i sit for a period of time then my car starts sputtering again then smoke comes out.
is this a leaking head gasket ready to blow or is it something else like a leaking piston?

That would be a blown headgasket. The last time a blew a headgasket the car was enveloped in white smoke, towed it home, fired it up the next day and i could get it to run find for 5 - 7 minutes driving it hard with no smoke, as soon as it warmed up it would bog and smoke, wouldn't idle either unless you kept giving it gas.
