where is the smoke coming from...who did the work...it could be improper installation..there shouldnt be smoking with a freshly rebuilt block with new valve seals,headgasket,and resufacing of the head...have u done a compression or leakdown test yet?

dude think of it...u say that it is a freshly built block...so rule that out...u also say that the head has been resurfaced..u changed the valve seals...and changed the head gasket..so rule out the top end...u probablyy messed up somewhere...if ur worried about the block and head having imperfections, spray the headgasket with copper spray next time...

ive already asked u twice but still no answer...where is the smoke coming from? if u would actually supply some more info it would make diagnosing ur problem a lot easier..

I have a feeling that you or your mechanic sucks and it's your head gasket.
