The head gasket was bad. That was replaced and after that the oil turned milky again. White smoke comes out at d back. Suspect a cylinder head crack.the thermostat was also removed. Pls note dis fault was noticed in d UK.i shipped the car that way to Nigeria, thinking it will be an easy fix as i had d intention of changing the engine to that of a honda ivtec or toyota camry 2.0. Ive also been advised to change d radiator to double cell as its now in a hot region. Pls ur expert advise on this is highly valued. Thanks

first, put the thermostat back in. that alone will damage the motor.

i agree with the cracked head.
