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?

How bad is the steam? Are you losing any power?

Re: quick confirmation

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
