head gasket or not ?

I have a smoking problem,the car smoke a white/blue smoke only at idle. Never any other time, at WOT it doesnt smoke and hard deceltraion useing the gears, it donest smoke. I cant figure it out. The only thing that backs me think it a head gasket or a warped head is the loss in coolant and that the exhaust smells sweet. The car never over heat, It smoke and smoke and at idle only. Does this sound like a head gasket and a warped head??? I have never had this kinda of trouble before is it new to me. Input would be helpful thanxs

Re: head gasket or not ?

Sounds like a gasket, because bluish smoke is valve seals leaking and coolant could possibly be getting into the mix.

One thing you should do is compression test the motor, best way. or just pull the heads and do the gaskets, only 34$ each for the fel pro LT4's and you can buy a set of Vitron fel pro valve seals.

Good up keep.
