Yup, that sounds about right. you may have a blown headgasket on your hands. are you sure the head was tightened down properly? Or the block guard maybe installed wrong. did the machine the block after the install?

You're correct..
If its blue its obviously oil..
But the white smoke might just be condensation from this cold *** weather..
Does it smell like coolant??
