Still smokes after head gasket fix
I'll try to be as short and direct as possible
purchased the car 8 months ago with 180k
- Whenever I'd really into high rpms, it'd leave a trail of white smoke
- Whenever I let it idle too long(5min+), it will blow out quite a bit of smoke when I leave
three weeks ago, I went all out. Pinning it against the limiter in all gears. I got home, the car was practically pissing coolant on the ground. I lift the hood, it's steam coming from the coolant tank top and it sounded like the motor was chugging the coolant.
I bought a gasket kit right after and had it put on. Now, I got the car back earlier today.
- Car runs noticeably stronger
(Got new plugs, oil change, gasket kit)
- still leaves a trail of white smoke at high rpm
- if you rev it at idle, it blows white smoke
- car still leaks coolant. It flows out like a faucet whenever I stop from running the car hard. I'm guessing it's the tank itself but that's easily replaceable.
Why does the car still leave trails of white smoke?
mods list - Flowmasters, short throw shifter, intake, bama performance tube.

You should have a leak down test performed. You may have a cracked block.
