Just changed my head gasket and the exhaust smoke smells sweet and is white and is excessive. I had the re-surfaced and it checked out. Could I have a coolant leak in the intake manifold?
The reason I changed the head gasket in the first place was I could tell from the oil something was up. I was right, the gasket had blown and I ended up needing to get a small amount of welding done. So I know the head is good, I cleaned the block surface, new gasket...... Every thing went great on re-assembly, the intake manifold side was more difficult but nothing too strange. This is why I wonder if I could be getting coolant from the intake side.
Lots of sweet white smoke.
