Engine smoke after replacing head gasket

Does an engine usually smoke a bit after a head gasket change? I am still trying to get all the OEM mounts to them so that they can replace them, too. But, I started up the Legend to see how it ran after the HG job.

Once started the exhaust heat will now start to burn off the coolant and water that was pushed into the exhaust system. When this fluid is heated it will come out the exhaust as white smoke or steam. Run the engine for one to two minutes. This must be done after the head gasket repair. Basically, this allows the oil to circulate and pick up any particles or dirt that may have entered the engine while it was open for the head gasket replacement.

The circulation of the oil brings any foreign matter or dirt into the oil filter or oil pan. So fit new:- Spark Plugs- Air Filter- Fuel Filter- Oil Filter- Exhaust Gaskets - Intake Gaskets - Stripped and cleaned entire engine down to chambers (but not gone to pistons)- New Valve Stem Seals- Valve clearances all c. High RPM and smoke after head gasket replaced. I reseated the valves and there is. I checked my pcv valve and it has vacuum at idle, and the hose is not plugged.

Performed a compression check- 1on all cylinders- okay for my car. Called the shop to see if maybe they forgot to install the valve seals, and they insisted that there is no way they would forget. Id say that there is a leak in the head gasket between one. I just had a brand new head gasket installed and rebuilt head. It has only been about three days since i got it from the shop.

When car’s cylinders head or gasket is either damaged or cracke not necessarily that crack should be big, coolant starts to leak out of it and get mixes with engine oil. This mixing in contamination of engine oil are ultimately resulting in white exhaust smoke with some sweet odor smell. Smoking after head gaskets replaced.

Had the head gasket replaced because of small leak. Now car is smoking (color blue) and is using a quart every 2miles. What could have caused this? It took about ten miles of driving on my Dodge to clear that stuff out after doing the head gasket thing.

This would consist of running gently at various speeds for a certain amount of time. If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. It was regular burning smoke.

Remember to only perform this step when the intake gasket is working fine. After that, we will come to the head gasket. This is a car part that seals the cylinder head in order to prevent the coolant from getting to the cylinder.

You may need to repair the engine block and the cylinder head or a complete engine replacement only. The head gasket replacement itself is not costly but the labor involved in the job requires a great amount of money. Head gasket replacement is typically done by a professional mechanic, but you can learn how to diagnose and replace a head gasket yourself.

It seals the cylinder head (which houses the engine valves) to the engine block (which houses the pistons and crankshaft). I just replaced the head gaskets on my vehicle and after getting it all back together it will not start. It cranks fine but it does not fire at all.

I have spark and fuel rail is pressured up.
