I put new thermostat in it and I put the stock turbo back on and still puffing blue white smoke new pvc car run hot with fan on high all the time Just did the block test and copression test passed so I think the shirt block is goodantifreeze smoke is white in color oil smoke blue did you pressurize the radiator ? are you losing antifreeze, thermostat open and closing proper? temperature gauge fluctuating all 6 plugs look the same if it leaks antifreeze into the cylinder that plug will be white and look brand new if it was a head gasket leaking into the cylinder it would be blowing smoke a little more than a puff, turbo smoke is most noticed at a idle when setting oil draining into exhaust there's several other things that could cause blue smoke valve guides or valve guide seals rings pcv valve sucking oil into throttle body or intake
No oil looks goodWith the picture in your first post I would say you have a head gasket failure. Is there any water in the oil??

Studs will increase the clamping force as the torque is applied differently. The problems you have heard about usually involve multi layer head gaskets like Cometics. The issue usually lies with the block and head surface preparation. Stock style gaskets will not see these issues.And should I go stud kit or no I hear stud kit sucks to seal
I'm going to go with rjc gas and stud kit running stock headsStuds will increase the clamping force as the torque is applied differently.

Ya I been talking I'm going cometice with arp stud kit
Ya I understand I'm running 24 on 100 when rocker shaft gave and that's why hg went I'm going to do e85 26 psiMake sure your heads and block are prepped...
Some run Cometics dry and some run copper coat on them, you will get differing opinions. I remove the rivet and coat all layers with copper coat. When you get to a point where you can blow one of these it is catastrophic !! My meltdown in 2010 where my boost went through the roof took out the aluminum head, scorched the block, a couple of push rods and scorched a piston, also found out that the crank was bent...it was a very rapid, violent meltdown on the street. I think my new RPE stroker motor had about 75 miles on it...talk about heartbreaking !!!!!! This was not the fault of the builder and I seriously doubt that a stock style gasket would have saved much. The point I am making is that these gaskets seal extremely well but they are not a fuse that will blow
