do a compression check on your motor. its easy and will tell you if you have a bad head gasket...but i would also flush coolant and check oil for signs of coolant and vice versa.

White smoke is water/coolant. Do what big Al said an do a compression test. When u changed the head gasket did u make sure the head wasn't warped an changed all the fluid?

[Abcfotze]

Dick you deck the block?

[*sick_EJ1*]

No i didnt check to see if it was warped. I have another head tho so should i try that one maybe as well?

[FranktheTank]

well you failed when you changed the head gasket, gooood job.
your head is most likely warped or your block is. now figure it out

Maybe yes he should have checked the head/block before puttin it back together but maybe it was a quick fix cuz of need of the car. he asked for help not to be put down.

Well if the head gasket is blown most people get a new head or have the head and/or the block decked. Sorry common sense didnt come into this guys head.

Quick fixes get you no where, if you own a Honda or any other vehicle you should know that.

i was under the impression that blue tinted smoke is coolent or water, white smoke is oil....sounds like typical piston rings to me.

White = Water/coolant
Blue = Oil
Black = Over Fuel Consumption

Trust me I had an older Caddy with a blow headgasket cuz it overheated and I was like 007 going back home with the smoke switch stuck on broken. Well at least felt like it LOL.

consuming coolant or no? Does the smoke smell sweet or like oil.

[VietTEC]

Is the smoking occur right when you start off, or at high rpms or just any rpm? If you're burning oil, I would check the PCV valve and change the valve stem seals. If that doesn't work then it's most likely the rings. I doubt it's the head gasket unless your smoking 24/7 at any rpm. Hope that helps.

Before this goes on to multiple pages, the op knows whats wrong. No need to keep adding opinions to raise your post count.

[*sick_EJ1*]

The head has brand new valve seals and it smokes right when i start it up and when i step on the gas the higher the rpm the more it smokes the lower the rpm the les it smokes and i really dnt no what it smells like either

[urnvs]

Usually (not always) if its coolant the car will NOT smoke when its cold...

[badasstegy]

It smokes all the time and don't overheat and there's oil dripping out the header (open header)
