Water can get in if you have a cracked block. If you didnt seal the headgasket or it ripped while replacing it could cause a leak. Your question is a bit unclear. You mention the engine is smoking and the dizzy isnt installed properly, and then you jump from that to water being burned or some kind of coolant. What is the actual problem that you seem to be having now?
