Exclamation white smoke?

took a little road trip last week and bad things happened . i'm thinking i've got a bad head gasket. it's blowing a little white smoke and there's something getting in with the oil. it never over heated and there was no oil loss. i'm pretty new at all this, just wondering what you guys think.

oaky you probably have a coolent leak so watch your oil to se if it changes to a milky color
and what kind of knock do you have going on in there?

White smoke=steam. Time for a compression and leakdown. Why not just face reality and start unbolting the heads.

And bolting some bad *** ones back on in place of those. But if you have a knock, it could be anything from detonation to a bearing.
