quick confirmation
ok long story short, new heads and new heads gaskets but intake is old and was repaired at the first port at number one cylinder with a marine grade jb weld. The mating surface for that coolant port was corroded away before the repair and leaked bad. I have white smoke still but I know the heads and head gaskets are good. is it a safe be that the intake is the culprit for my problem?

Haven't driven it just let it idle until it got to operating temp to see if the smoke went away. The smoke isn't terrible but it's noticeable. On a scale of 1-10 I would say a 5-6.

I have been getting a very light white smoke too. It is even noticable in the summertime on a 90 degree day. Been like that for over 2 years now. Car still runs its *** of tho. LOL
