Default My car smokes more than ME!

put a d15b in my car.. starts up and runs without bogging, once it gets to running temp it shoots out alot of white smoke... Changed the head gasket.. started it up and sat back to see the same amount of smoke as before.. car still drives without bogging,, but tons of smoke as i rev up.. what else should i be looking at to solve my problem. any input would be nice.

Sounds like coolant for sure. Did your gasket seat correctly, you might have a warped head or block. might have a crack also.

what is the condition and level of your coolant?

gaskey was in correctly.. no idea if the head or block is warped or whatnot.. the motor had no problems when it was in my friends car but when it went into mine. it was smoking.. just changed injectors to see if that is a possible problem

did the motor get tipped over or was upside down? there may be fluids in the intake manifold...

Cylinder head gasket may be bad or your cylinder head may be warped or cracked but in the worst case the engine block may be cracked

In that case since you're smoking still after you changed the head gasket, you rings on your piston must be bad.

Not rings because he said it shoots white smoke = water leak if it was shooting a blueish tint then he might have to replace rings or whatever to fix a oil leak
