The car is a d15b7 I bought it needing a headgasket, it was smoking plumes of white smoke and overheating. Since I replaced the gasket and had the head resurfaced. It doesn't over heat but its smoking when It gets warm. I did adjust the valves since they took apart the head. Ex .10 In .08

Im still getting smoke when im on the gas and higher rpms bring more smoke. Kinda white and leaves a trail wherever I go. Should I adjust the valves tighter since I didn't replace the seals? Ive driven it about 15 miles since the HG job. Ive also changed the oil twice and the oil is still golden and the coolant doesn't get bubbles when I test the throttle with the tube in the reservoir. (just a few bubbles not a lot). The odometer reads 165k but it doesn't work so who knows how many miles are really on it. Also im not familiar with some of the pressure testing I searched for on here when I searched this topic but I am mechanically inclined. Any help towards getting rid of the smoke?

 

u might have a warped block and gasket isnt sealing right.

Make sure to bleed cooing system correctly

 

You might just be burning off the crap in your exhaust. Or its burning a little oil. Try a compression test.

 

If the car got really hot when the HG blew chances are that the head is warped. you still have water seeping into the compression and oil chambers. do a compression test. Standard compression is 184 psi. Min, is 135 psi. They shouldn't vary no more than 28 psi
