Default Ek hatch ls swap turbo WHITE SMOKE!

ok heres the deal, i blew my head gasket so i had to get it replaced. upon replacing it i resurfaced the head, now i turn it on to drive and it smokes crazyyy! it'll leave alot of smoke behind mee clouds of it which is embarrassing .


anyone got any ideas of what it could be?

my guess is the turbo oil seals are bad or something with coolant??

HELP ME!!!!!!!

How far have you driven it? Sometimes it takes several miles to get the coolant out of the exhaust!

oil has a blue-ish color to the smoke..white usually mean coolant is burning

you probably cracked a sleeve, do a compression test.. and make sure all your spark plugs are out when you do it...

if your gasket was new, and a cylinder's compression is low you most likely cracked a sleeve
