Your mods wouldn't cause you to run rich on a stock rebuild and light mods. Check your plugs. How are your plugs gapped? How old are your plugs? Check your front o2. How did you do your motor break in? Just humor us and check your coolant and your oil for run on. This may sound odd, but take a quick sniff of your exhaust, does it smell like, coolant, oil, or just fuel?

Regardless, check your plugs and their condition. Note any buildup on them. Tan/light brown is a good color for the tips to be.

dude cmon its not a blown headgasket....it was replaced in the rebuild like 2k miles ago. White smoke can indicate it running rich...i know that for a fact.
Thus the reason I'm not putting any more input in. I've rebuilt 75% of my engine so far and going to do 100% but hell WTF do I know about an engine's symptoms.
