well we got the motor in the car primed the motor and everything bumped it a few times before we started it and when we got it started it was making a ticking noise from the valve cover but it went away so we thunk nothing of it also the number three injector wasn't working so my mechanic takes it for a test drive and when he comes back it's pouring white smoke from the exhaust i don't know what it could be.

a few other things when we reved it up to make it blow off oil came out of the BOV .also had to hadwire a couple plugs because they were missing.

but im getting a new head and block next week so hopefully this fixes my problem

Compression?

Any fluid loss?

What does the smoke smell like? (Sweet?)

Any cels/mils?

And I'm not trying to be too big of an a$$ on my part, but its "thought" not "thunk".

Head gasket may be blown; do a compression test on all cylinders to verify.
