hi guys have a magna 94 with 2.6l engine
the cars was smoking orginaly when you first started the car. give it a rev goes away then comes back
so i pulled off the head and seen the head was worn and corroded but head gasket looked ok no signs or traces or leaks.
i got another head from another magna that had done 160km didn't get it plained as i cheak it tolarance and was ok reseated the valves and installed new valve seals put engine backtogeather with new head gasket and is running
now when i first start the car no signs of smoke or anything even if i rev it but after 5 to 10min of idaling then i get white smoke coming from the exsaust
im stumped on what it can be maybe a sensor or somthing. if it was a gasket or crack it would start smoking straight away?
other thing is themostate is stuck open will this cause it.
any suggestions be great
