oka to start off i build my 6bolt motor with forged internals and a rebuilt head and i swapped it in my 96gst now i have a really big problem when i start it. The car turns on and runs but it smokes like crazy blue smoke really really bad and for some reason my oil is white. I have never seen anything like this in my life please help me this car has been the biggest problem for me lately i am going crazy because of it
 
Damn, sorry to hear that enes....

Try draining the oil and put some cheap oil in. Let the car run for about 10-15 minutes and check the oil. If it is white like before, then you have a water leak somewhere. I have also heard of condensation in a motor causing white oil. Especially if yours would have sat a while in the cold before being put in.
 
might have bad gasket which cause coolant leak to engine, make sure the gasket is good, if still having problem try sent to shop.
 
You mentioned this crazy build but no details. What HG are you using? What kind of prep? What kind of head fasteners? How many miles on the motor? Who did the build? What components were used? What sorts of machining? What kind of motor oil? What method of break-in?

Don't start it anymore.

Do a compression test followed by a leakdown test and a BLT. Let us know results.
