You may have washed out that cylinder... scuffing the cylinder wall. It may also be that some combustible fluids (oil and fuel) have gotten pumped into the darkest corners of your exhaust system... and they must BURN out. Since the entire exhaust system really doesn't get hot enough all over to do this effectively... this process may take a while.

Prepare for the worst... and hope for the best.

Yeah because it’s a lot of blue smoke with the smell of gas as well and my gas doesn’t seem to last either when I replaced head gasket I had to make some modifications where the dial pins go they wouldn’t fit the hole so I made the holes bigger so it would fit you think maybe that could be reason!? Just wanted to ask and I took it last night for a hour drive on freeway and smoke seemed to get less but there is smell of fuel and fuel economy is **** so I agree with you maybe it did get to the deepest corners of my exhaust because where headers connect to the pipe underneath u can see dripping of oil mixed with gas so I’m thinking it’s what you said just needs to burn it out fingers crossed 🤞

Also can it be a bad manifold that could be the culprit.!? And is there anything I can do as to adding a cleaner to the gas tank something to speed up the burning out process or anything you maybe suggest!?
