Default pooring smoke

Well I just recently put heads on my car and it went fine until I noticed that smoke was puffing out of the drivers side of my exhaust. I have true duals. well I though it was the head gasket and its still smoking any one have any idea whaty this could be or what could be causing it?

You replaced the head gasket and it is still smoking out the exhaust ? Is there coolant missing in the overflow or is it low under the cap ? If you remove the cap are there bubbles in the coolant ?

What kind of gaskets are you using ?

Did you notice anything out of the ordinary while you had the head off ?

What's your setup (heads, etc) ?

is its oil...it is most likely from you seals on the valves...if they are not seated down all the way before the springs are put on, oil will seep past...just a thought. Good luck

What color is the smoke (obviously no smoke is good, heh) ? Does it smell sweet or burned ?
