Hi Jim, the cylinder walls are in good shape I have some photos I can attach they aren't of best of quality but the block was in good shape with no cracks that I could see. Cylinder 1 had a slight ridge in it but otherwise then that the engine was in good shape. I examined the rest of the cylinders which I came up with nothing. But all it takes is a small hairline crack to cause leakage. But the spark plugs were very black and sooty so I changed them all.

Hi Brian, thanks for the insight. I'll give a compression test and atf a try and see what I come up with. After driving it for about 40 minutes it is still smoking slightly blue, but no white. And no loss of antifreeze. So I guess the white smoke was just condensation but now I have another problem on my hands!

Hi Kevin, it was sitting for about 2 years when I bought it from a auto gallery it needed some tlc lol. I guess it's not like tons of billowing smoke. I'll start up the car, about 30 seconds later it'll get a little puff then build up to a noticeable amount of white and blue. I guess it could be condensation since it's getting colder out but it doesn't smell like antifreeze. Could it possibly be a too rich fuel mixture? I've heard that can cause white smoke as well.
Thanks Nathan

Hi all first post here! I have a 1951 200 when I first bought it did smoke decently which had a sweet smell to it, assuming it was antifreeze I did a head gasket job which now after finishing up still smokes. It no longer has the sweet antifreeze smell to it but has a white-bluish tint to it. I'm assuming oil is getting into the exhaust. Maybe bad valve seats? Does anyone have any input that may explain why it would still smoke as bad? Any advice is appreciated because I'm no master mechanic!
Thanks Nathan
