i have a 1998 civic vtec-e
it had lack of power and it was smoking " white smoke not oil " so i took the head off and had it milled and replaced the gasket... i looked at the block surface and looked ok and even looked fine with a straight edge... anyway, i did a headgasket job on this thing and what do you know it still runs like shit and poors out white smoke?? i checked the spark plugs and they were good, i even replaced them thinking it might have fouled them out - "i know this doesnt make a car smoke but i did it". i did a compression test and i got 150-145-140-150 - can anybody think of anything?? i thought maybe a cracked cylinder but i dont have any water in my oil..... please if you have any input pass it on.....
