That's pretty low, did you do the rig job for the b16 dizzy to fit?

So it's a whiteish smoke with a sweet smell in RE to the antifreeze being lost or what exactly?

DO A LEAK DOWN TEST! READ THIS LINK:

aside from that 150 is very low. cur head gasket is probly fucked and coolant is getting into the cyclinders thus burning the coolant and making ur car smoke an loose coolant... .... done explaining....

your antifreeze is freezing inside your radiator/block? that doesnt sound good, it will probably damage your water pump.

If you are smoking and loosing antifreeze (and cannot spot that leak) you probably have a bad headgasket, how does your oil look?

my oil is super clean i drove it for 100 miles so far and it is still clear as hell and i did a leak down test and when i get it to tdc in all cylinders it is less than 10% laekage but when it turns to another tdc for another cylinder should the leakage go way up in the one i tested or should it stay the same i really dont know how to use them things
