I will pull the plugs tonight after work. I needed a day break from the car.

The smoke is white ans smells like coolant. The engine revs up ok and I drove the car down the street and it seemed quick but filled the street with bright white smoke. it idles a shade rough and i xanhear a slight squeaking when the engine is running. I can take a video of it and post it tonight as well.

I torqued the head in a three step process using the torque specs on clarks garage, with a final torque spec of 60 something foot pounds. I have a torque angle gauge but it wasnt working correctly so i found the torque spec and torqued it down. Perhaps its overtorqued. Maybe I should have just waited and got a good torque angle gauge..
