Forrest Fire from my car!

When you start the car it looks like a forest fire is coming out of my friends car! This smoke we are seeing is coming out the exhaust upon startup and does not go away. We went ahead and removed the heads and had them cleaned and fixed by a local shop here in town. They checked all valve seats etc and did what work was necessary to fix them. After bolting the new heads back on, adjusting the valve lash and starting the car it does the same damn thing! Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!


P.S the smoke is white.

Put on new headgasket. The heads were tanked, magnafluxed, and pressure tested.

The other weird thing is that there is FRESH oil coming out of the exhaust manifold as well as the white smoke....

Possible Cracked block?
