Engine Bogs on Acceleration and White Smoke
Hey everyone, recently my 89 iroc (5.7 tpi) has been giving me some issues. When I go to accelerate from a complete stop my engine bogs down and white smoke comes out the tailpipe. I checked my radiator, things completely full so it's not coolant. My first guess was maybe there was something up with the pressure in my crankcase and its shooting oil up in the cylinders so I replaced the pcv valve. Thing was made by AC Spark haha, older than me. Anyways it's still doing it. Any suggestions?

Let it set over night, then pull the spark plugs and inspect them for signs of coolant, the bad cylinder will either have a wet plug or a rusty plug. If you find one the culprit is either a leaking intake gasket or a blown head gasket.

how does the oil look? Does it look like chocolate milkshake?
