Well.... got the car running yesterday drove it for a while. Some coolant leaking which turned out to be a bad radiator cap.
Today got it up to temperature, it just pours white smoke out of the exhuast. I know that usually means headgasket... however it's brand new. I cleaned the head and block, but didnt have the head decked. It seemed smooth though. Should i start ripping it apart or any other ideas? I've never seen a bad head gasket pour this much smoke which is strange. Doesn't necessarily have that sweet smell either, but not sure what else it could be.

if its been sitting for a while could be moisture, water builds up, besides that water is a by product of combustion but thats just one thing. you can easily check if your coolant or oil is intermixing. is your temp overheating?
i barely drive my car so i too thought the white smoke was coolant initially, I dropped the exhaust pipe and water spilled out. this caused the white smoke. could be anything but best thing to do is check it one by one. -------------------- 94 Celica GT
