The car run for a good 15 minutes but the smoke remains. I did that sniffing thing, It smells gas and burned oil. I have a bad radiator so I don't see too much circulation in the coolant reservoir hence I don't see bubbles there which would suggest compression going to the water system. The smoke is there be it idle or revving, I mean its not an on off thing, always there. More info wpuld be appreciated before I start dismantling the C head.

Thanx guys,
Jayne
