b20 motor low miles with an ls tranny

it was running fine i did an oil change tranny change and the spark plugs. i started driving it and after about 5 minutes it quit on me wouldnt start at all. i changed the distributor and it started right up. it now idles rough and theres white smoke coming out. if i put my hand i can feel the air and wets my hand and smells really strong like gas.

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. sorry about the grammer

 

anyone please

 

let me know

 

just a guess here.. but are you sure your timing is right after you changed the dizzy?

it kinda sounds like you're running rich.

.. although white smoke is not good... a would denote a more serious problem

 

white smoke = coolant

black smoke = running rich (unburnt fuel/carbon)

blue smoke = oil


check your compression, sounds like a headgasket.

 

does white smoke always mean headgasket?

As far as I know. Mine puts a nice amount of white smoke on warmp-up or high RPM operation. I need to replace the headgasket but have been trying to hold off until I get all my parts for a complete engine rebuild.
