uhh... love the punctuation there lol. White smoke = coolant. The headgasket wasn't installed correctly or head wasn't torqued/sequences correctly.

 

that maybe right cause i use a arp headstuds and i use torque settings from the repair manual.should i retorque the head or replace it with a new head gasket? i have a cometic head gasket installed right now

 

The torque for ARP's is higher than factory, so you will need to base your torque off the yellow card that came with them.

If it blew your gonna need to replace it, because it has a wrinkle/weak spot.
