blue is 'burning' oil, not just super heated oil blowby which is
usually white.<br>
If it dissipates almost immediately it's water, if it lingers for a
moment or three.... its oil<br>

<div dir="ltr">Lots of white smoke doesn't always indicate
water/coolant. On my TR4 engine that had been freshly rebuilt
when I bought it I had billowing clouds of white smoke. After
several head gasket changes I finally realized that the new
liners (liner & piston kit) had not been cross hatched so
the rings didn't seat. This allowed for massive amounts of oil
to be sucked up and out the exhaust. Result was white smoke.

<div>So the question is, were the cylinder liners cross hatched
so the rings would seal?</div>

<div>Did you replace the head gasket with a new one
when you fixed the oil ring? Probably not
recommended, but I've reused them (1x) in the past,
but always painted them with the copper coat head
gasket paint.<br>

</div>
<div>I've blown head gaskets that leaked water into
the pistons only -- no water in the oil. But you
may want to check your oil for contamination.</div>
