Default Help!!! WHITE SMOKE... Not blown head gasket.

Well today I changed my header and put a high flow cat conveter, my tranny Oil and SH oil. Well that all went well, but when I started it alot of whiteish blueish Oil from my exhaust. SO i thought it will go away after a few min's, Well it didnt. It's ALOT of smoke for a four banger so any advise would help.

Please no flaming, thanx for any input.

if it is white smoke that means your burning oil pistion rings could be wasted. (black smoke means you car is getting alot of fuel)-slash- or not burning it right. just for your info

Did you mess with the O2 sensor? What about the secondary? The secondary wouldnt cause big problems but you might want to check you primary.

Here's a long shot: A long, long time ago, I had a brake booster that was failing at the master cylinder side. The engine's vacuum was strong enough to suck brake fluid from the master cylinder, into the booster, then into the engine's intake via the booster's hose! It was easy to figure out the problem, because the smoke got really bad whenever I pressed on the brakes. Point is that engine oil isn't the only oil you could be burning...
