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
