Need help guys I replaced the headgasket as it was bad, it went on straight and there is no oil leak and no blue smoke. I also replaced the valve stem seals as they were worn to s**t. I set timing at TDC and now it revs past 4k RPM , this was an issue I was having before where it would not rev past 4k rpm. It pulls strong and has strong compression number 190 across all cylinders. However there is a cloud of white smoke , could it be from the card cleaner and combustion chamber cleaner I used to clean parts? Could there also be residue left over? I opened the radiator and there is no bubbling effect while the car is running and when I turn on the car nothing gushing out of it; so I dont think the headgasket is bad. I replaced the pcv valce but the black kind of catch can its attached to I sprayed it with card cleaner and not sure if it evaporated. Could this be causing the smoke also?
So to summarize timing at 18 BTDC , compression 190 across all cylinders, the radiator hose are not bubbling anymore like they did with my first head gasket install. I have not changed the fluids (oil and radiator) yet. Would this help?
Please help, I would appreciate it.
