if is white smoke you might be running rich.

 

how would i regulate rich or lean

 

You can regulate rich or lean with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Thats probably the cheapest way. But I've always been told that white smoke would be coolant not fuel which makes since because you just changed your head. Don't change the oil for a few miles and check to see if it looks like chocolate milk. That would tell you that you probably have a problem with your head gasket. You probably could get a leak down test done also. Good luck.

you are wrong...think before you give people bad info.


White smoke is coolant. Sounds like a headgasket problem to me, could have been put on backwards i guess.

 

nicorette FTW.


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

k well i know for a fact that the head gasket is not leaking casue i hold very good compression and that its brand new out of hte box and on correct cause i mad sure of that so do you hvae any more sugestions ike i said it dies down wen i have my oil changed and comes back wen i get low on oil plus kinda burn oil fast wat could that be

 

This may be a long shot but I've seen this happen before. My brother changed his head gasket on his DA, it ran great for a couple of days and then the white smoke came back. At that point we decided to just pull the whole motor and do a rebuild. Well after we got the motor out and we were taking off the head we noticed that one of the head studs either came loose or we never tightened it all of the way. You might want take out the cams and check them.

 

did that the heads at torqed at 61 ft so they are good i mean wen its cold it smokes a lot but wen it warms up it only smokes if u really womp on it like 35-7 grand (rpm) so i duno

 

can any one else help

those head bolts are supposed to be torqued to "yield" which means you need a torque wrench that is capable of up to 250 ft lbs.. check the manufacturer's specs

 

white smoke is coolant--even if the guy is a professional doesnt mean he did a gret job on it.

 

black smoke is rich... i dont think it smokes when its lean.

 

A new head or a used head? If it was used, was it resurfaced? Is the compression consistent between cylinders?

 

used head but the compression even i think at like 180 all 4 not resurfaced but it did this before i even changed the head think that it could be my injectors or my rings

 

it could be alot of things, poor install, warped head, bad rings, or blown seals, hard to tell, but it's sounds like it's burning coolant. Take it to a repuitable shop if you can't figure it out your self. I had the same problem but i was building my engine found out the shop didn't know what they were doing and i was told they were good. Do your homework before it happens to someone else

 

???

 

see this is the thing if it a collant thing than why does it goe away after a while and now here its rainging and cold and wen i drive it doesnt happen wtf i dont get it

so it just smokes whenever it wants to? You said it could be your rings, what's the history with your engine?need to know to a little more background

headgasket backwards lol, that's how you miss up dowel pins. Head would even go on, that means the car won't start. Don't think so..

how bad is the smoke, little or alot? does it smoke underload or just sitting there.did you replace the head studs with new oem ones

 

its a little bit and its kinda blueish white???

 

if its cold then look around at other cars they smoke too. so give it up. i am doing soo but i know where my problem is.
