First i wanted to thank supercharged/ billy for the carb cleaner idea to find the leak. I found it... It was the intake manifold gasket and i have replaced it. The engine runs smooth and sounds great but it smokes excessively. I replaced the head and all the gaskets are new. I used brake cleaner to clean head. It also idles low, around 500rpm. Egr is blocked off but not pluged into anything and i still haven't tapped the coolant tube for the second sensor.

Anyone? I doubt it could be the bottom end cause it was fine before.poop -
What color smoke?
The idle could be from the coolant sensor not being hooked up...if its not plugged in, it will ploom out black smoke and idle really low. Just pluggin it in while the engine bay is cold, but the coolant temp is rising will cause it to run rich too and ploom out black smoke.
Did you forget to plug the IAC in?
Is the IAC clean?
Put you finger over the hole for the IAC. the engine should idle about 600 with you finger over the hole, turn the car off, plug the IAC back in, it should relearn idle if the IAC is good.
If you have white smoke, its most likly a crappy oil control rings.-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.

Blue-ish white-ish for oil...white for water/steam, and black from over rich.-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.

Or run about 1/2 a can of seafoam through your PCV and then let it sit for a couple of hours. I'm sure you could do the piston soak with the seafoam also. You may have not had the surfaces clean enough on the head/block for the HG to seal right but still give you decent compression #'s. Are you for sho that your car is burning oil? Read, do you look @ your dipstick everyday before you start it for a week and 1/2 to make sure that your oil level is dropping noticeably while not adding oil until it gets low?
