Well I finally got my car up and running and noticed the huge clouds of smoke coming from the exhaust. Figured it would be my headgasket, but I just put in ctr pistons and the mugen 2-piece headgasket so it shouldn't be. Where would be my starting point? Should I pull the head off and do a quick check to see if everything is alright? Get back at me
BTW b16, ctr pistons, head gasket, i/h/e, tb, fpr

 

problay your head gasket did torque the head blots to spec

 

is it coming from the exhaust tip or the header?

check your oil levels and your pcv.

Followed the Helms to the T. Everything at proper torque.

It was coming from the header and the exhaust tip. It stopped from the header, but now just from the tip

 

then check your pcv and oil levels

 

CEL....code 6 and 10.

Will do. I think I am going to pull a late nighter and replace the head anyways. Thanks.

* Oil full

Found it! Leak where the head met the block. Was not quite sitting right. Switched back to other head and perfect now.
