So much white smoke.
Hi all my car sat for about a year and a half in GA i finally got her back but now she pours white smoke. I havent noticed low coolant or oil mixed with coolant. I boost great and no miss fire. I think I have a blown headgasket. What do yall think?

Its a bit of work, or you can have a shop do it for a fee... its crazy though because since you take the head off you may as well replace all sorts of other seals and also your vacuum lines... ah, it gets crazy

Jumping to conclusions a little bit here? Get a compression and leak down test. I had the same problem and it was due to overfilled oil. Oil was sucked into the intake system and sitting in the intake valve ports, then pouring white smoke out the exhaust.

Found problem
Well I found my problem, it wasnt the headgasket but a pinched vacuum line the comes off the passanger side of the j-boot. I replaced that and now she runs great.
