your goign to want to replace the headgasket and make sure heads and block is not cracked. then find out what caused the headgasket to go out in the first place.

improperly torqued bolts? overheating? wear?

whats a cylinder leak down test show? compression test too wet and dry.

white exhaust doesnt always mean headgasket. could be warped head, cracked head, cracked block.

or it could be burning trans or p/s fluid getting in engine.

or even too much water in the gas.
