Why is my truck still blowing white smoke?
I have replaced both head gaskets, changed the oil and coolent.
and it still blows white smoke. Does the timing have anything to do with it?

 

did you check your compression before you tore the engine apart?

did you replace or have the heads checked?

did you see where the leak was?

you need to give a whole lot more info.

 

He doesn't say that he rebuilt his engine that I can see.Possibly he has a cracked head or block.

 

give us more information, year, model, engine, is the white smoke the reason for replacing the head gaskets??

 

If auto trans with vacuum modulator............bad modulator letting ATF get sucked into intake..........then white smoke ???

is that possible?? only vac modulated tranny he could have would be a c6.

 

You bet yuh 95ford4x4.....

glad i never had that happen before, that would not be on the top of my list of suspects for smoke.

 

More info it is a 1988 F150 4x4 5.8L, it started to smoke and there was some coolent in the oil pan so I replaced the head gaskets. and reset the time and when it start up it was still smoking(white smoke). so I was wondering if the timing is off will it still smoke. If not what can it be.

 

There are some good suggestions in this thread. Did you rebuild the engine or just replace the head gaskets? Did you do a compression check on the motor?

If you replaced the head gaskets, then you either didn't install them right and they're still leaking, you have a cracked block or heads (did it overheat?), or as someone else suggested, there is ATF getting sucked into your intake via the vacuum modulator on the tranny.

It cannot be the timing. Incorrect timing can not cause white smoke.
