Exclamation ls2 stage 3 cam head gsket issue?
hey all im new here but i have a question; ive built an ls2 with stage 3 comp cam 60 lb injectors. my question is the motor other than tuning not done yet is that im getting some white smoke from the exhaust recently, first hour of running there was none,also it seems to have alot of moisture in the crank vent and under the oil fill cap. how much pressure is normal,how much moister is normal,and why would i be seeing white smoke in exhaust suddenly/note does not smell like coolant. ? and could this be a head gasket issue? i havnt seen water in oil or oil in water. forgive me if im not using the forum correctly as ive never been on one. thank you in advance if anyone can help me .

The likelihood is that you have:

1. Blown head gasket;
2. Cracked cylinder head;
3. Cracked engine block.

Are the heads torque correctly and in the right sequence?

Did you blow out all bolt holes prior to bolting the heads done?

This guy is another one-post wonder-troll

He hasn't been on the forum since he posted......and probably won't be again unless it's under another name.
