I have replaced my catalytic converter, smog pump, and turbo that was bad on my car as well as other things and my car is still at mechanic smoking. What will he tell me now I keep asking them to check my head gasket and nobody has said that everyone has told me my car is burning oil.

Hi,

If there is excessive white smoke from the exhaust, most times, that is caused by engine coolant being burned in the combustion chamber resulting from a head gasket. Oil will usually burn blue.

Here is a link that explains how to check for a bad head gasket. Take a look through it and see if anything mirrors what you experience.

Let me know.
