Does the smoke smell sweet? Is it taking oil or coolant, have you done a compression or leak down test?

Oil still the same level. And it doesn't smell sweet. LoL but maybe I should do a compression test. Thanks.

very well could also be a leaking inj. i have had this problem in the past. full built a bottom end (20+hrs spec'ing out bearings, measureing so on) put all together and bam instant white smoke. turn out i put on a fuel pressure tester and kick'd fuel pump on and off and pressure bled off in matter of seconds. but when it ran it looked just like a headgasket/burning coolant.
