Whitish exhaust smoke while the engine is cold may be consider normal. But after warmup, white smoke may indicate water or coolant has turned to steam in the combustion camber. Most likely a cracked cylinder head or a blown, misaligned, or over torqued head gasket.......i hope this helps

 

how much torqwue were are they suppost to be i torqued them to the specs 66 i will it affect it if i torqued it like 1 lb more? also it doesnt smeel like honey and the oil anr coolent dont seem to me mixing it gives like a nasty smell like to much gas like if its not burned right

 

1 lb won' t make a difference. most torque wrenches are innacurate by that anyways. do a compression test to see whats it is. also did you untorque and retorque the head in the proper sequence?

 

yeah i torqued it in the right sequense and to 33 then to 66 lbs i believe it was i will do a compression test what does it have to read? also the car seems to run fine when i clogg the hole inside the tb or when the car is cold

 

your compression numbers don't really mean a whole lot. its just when one or more is different than your others. Thats when you know you have a leak somewhere. i.e. valves, rings, headgasket.

what do you mean by clogging the tb? Like cover the entire hole???

 

no not the whole tb the car runs fine until it gets hott then it idles and smokes i just clogg the small little hole that inside the tb the one that goes to the aicv( i think its called) and it runs fine
