hate to tell you pal but if clouds of smoke were coming out the tail pipe it's not due to a leaking intake gasket...cause if that were the case antifreeze would be mixing with the oil...you either have a cracked head,block or blown head gasket[:@]

make sure you get all the crap flushed out of the oil and if it keeps doing this as you said it has done it before I'd make sure the surfaces aren't warped or it's torqued down properly

it was torqued down properly last time but i think the prob was wen i went to put the lower manifold back on, it moved the gasket cause the sealer wasnt dry yet, so this time ima put the sealer down and then the gasket and let that dry a day or 2 b4 i put the manifold back on, was in a rush last time and that doesnt mix with mechanics
