engine starts to smoke as soon as it starts

[rubyleigh09]

Hey hey everyone, I've been working on my civic again. It just recently started smoking out of the back of the engine block and around the turbo area. . . I know I have a exhaust leak but this is pure white smoke. It started after I changed the spark plugs, I mean it's always smoked a little but now it's really smoking. . . Like a lot, is there any way that it could have a blown or loose head gasket? I don't see any oil leaking on the back of the block where the oil feed line is? I'm not really sure what's going on. Maybe it does have a blown head gasket I don't know. PLEASE HELP

by the way the engine is a turbo charged d16 vtec engine....

my old d series did tha one time when i didnt have raidiator fluid in it also no oil can be the same. A blown head gasket would smoke out your exhaust

Checked coolant and it's good, checked oil and it's good.

i guarantee its a headgasket. drain the oil there will you find your answer. boost on a stock internal d series they dont last to long if your rough with it

It doesn't have stock internals... so I don't know what your talking about with that. It's got a built bottom end. . .

It's got arp head studs and everything else

And I havn't been rough on it at all.

You were correct, Oil flowing out the front of the engine now. . . Time for a new head gasket

What head gasket were you running? Also arp head studs are amazing, but you have to use the arp lube which isn't provided. Also follow the torque procedure to the T.

Try checking the gasket the goes around the spark plugs under the valve cover.
