ok so i got a 2g 420a it has greddy header, apexi n1 exhaust, aem cold air intake, msd coil pack, i just rebuild the head timing belt water pump now it smells rich and im getting white smoke out the back when i only take off??

oh ya and i keep getting a check engine code for missing

and its auto tranny
 
i think white smoke is oil, and black fuel so yep, try to check the valve seals :)

Good luck !
 
White smoke = water or antifreeze should smell sweet
Blue smoke = Oil smells like well burning oil
Black smoke = Extra fuel burning smells like gasoline

make sure it is white and not blue
 
whats the best way to check the valve seals i sent it to a shop to get the head rebuild so i thought nothin of anything wrong with the head?

my mane worry is the missfire codes they r p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304
 
Do a compression or leakdown test, and give us the results if you don't understand what they mean.
 
How do you suppose that replacing the wires will prevent your car from smoking?
