(T) smoke after doing head gasket

paul6693 · 26-07-2008

i did the head on my 98 punto 60s head was skimmed and engine runs fine but once hot lots of grey smoke.a mate said it could be water in the exhaust from when the gasket failed.....anyone got any ideas....cheers.

it could be light grey/white smoke is water/steam. Take it for a long(ish run) and see if it clears itself (it should do if its just water in the exhaust) If it dosent clear are you loosing any coolant?

However if its black/dark grey smoke that either burning oil or over fueling
