What do you mean when you said rebuilt ls? Did you get new pistons new rods block girdle what? What oil are you using synthetic or non synthetic? What method did you use to brake in your motor? How many layer head gasket are you using, and is it after market or stock? Is the head sitting on the block flush? Did you mill the head? Where is the smoke coming from... you have to be more specific... bro…
