? blown head gasket

I'm having some white smoke coming from my engine and from exhaust, I thought it might have been a blown head gasket but when I drained the oil it looked clean, when I pulled the intake off there was alot of oil build up in the exhast chambers of the heads, could this be a bad valveseat or seal? also has anybody done a rebuild on a vortec sq9 supercharger? this may be the source of an oil leak I was having, there was alot of oil in the impellar side of the supercharger through the mass air and into the aftercooler. I thought this was the cause of the white smoke but I put the car back to stock and it continued to smoke. any ideas????

How does the engine run ?

If oil's everywhere, its probably stinking blue smoke ( as opposed to odourless or antifreeze smelling white ) and melted pistons.

You can have instances where you can have a blown head gasket and not have it actually get into the oil. I'd pull the heads off and see what is going on. Bob
