What would cause white smoke to come out of my exhaust

Where is the oil leaking from, front or rear?

The cylinder head gasket cannot be the cause of that, unless you have something trapped between the gasket layers. Oil cannot go into the cylinders via the gasket because this means you have no compression due to leakas and the engine is not going to run smoothly.

Reconfirm the leak. It should be external, most likely valve cover gasket, distributor or V-tec solenoid valve assy (if equipped) if from end of engine. Front of engine leakage means the camshaft seals.

Seal is behind the cam pulley. When you removed the camcarriers you did not check or replace it? You need to have a little sealant between the carrier and cylinder head.

# 1 camshaft holder at timing belt side has an oil seal under it. Sealant has to be applied under it when installing to prevent oil leaks. You need to apply sealant to the # 5 holder as well.

If your engine is V-tec, it would not have the o-ring. The plug seal would be inside the valve cover and if the seals are hardened, you would need to replace them.

You need to find the exact source of the leak to be able to rectify it.

I don't know where you are refering to so how about a pix?

Check the distributor O'ring and the # 5 cam holder. You need sealant between the cam holder and head. The leak would look as if it is from between the heads as oil woul flow down from above and accumulate at the head.

It looks like the head was not surfaced which will cause the leak due to warpage. Anytime the head gasket is replaced the head MUST be resurfaced.

Hope this helps,

Please let us know what happens.
