Sounds like a leaking head gasket. Antifreeze burns white. Sounds like water is leaking into one of the cyl's after being shut off and that makes it hard to start. I just worked on one like this and they can be hard to diagnose because sometimes pressure testing does not show a drop in pressure but i am pretty sure that is what you are looking at. LEt me know what comes of it Curt
