so i got my new injectors and they all work, but cylinder one and four was giving me a little hard time. i adjusted the timing on the distributor cap too. now my car still is putting out a ton of white smoke, its not over heating. some of my friends say it's the exhaust valve, and some say its still a leaky injector. could it be a burned piston ring? but i dont think anymore gasoline is getting into my oil pan. i'm going to get a compression test in a few days to see if its my internals, any suggestions?

Id say your head gasket is toast.Does the smoke ever clear out?

If it is antifreeze burning it will almost have a sweet smell to and the smoke will not linger around very long.

put ur hand to your exhaust and have a friend rev it a little then smell your hand if it smells sweet(coolant smells like pancakes to me lol) then its your headgasket if it smells like fuel then your either running rich or you have a leaky injector. Idk what color fuel burns so just give it a smell.

Dont make 2 threads for the exact same thing.

Check for intermix, check compression, report back.
