    I was loosing coolant and white smoke was coming out my exhaust, so I replaced my head gasket, LIM Gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, valve cover gasket etc, but i'm still having some issues.

    I started the car after it was done, and it ran fine for a minute, then white smoke started coming from the exhaust again (not as bad as before I replaced the gaskets) and also a wispy smoke started coming from the exhaust manifold at the front of the engine.

    Could it just be burning off residue from when I cleaned the gasket surfaces, is my head possibly warped, any suggestions on where I could start looking?

    Thanks for your help.

    well if you just slapped some head gaskets on with out having them checked out that is your fault. I just hope you did't waste you time and have a cracked head homie.
