Whew I'm filling up this section with questions. I am stumped trying to figure out if my 91 Toyota pickup 22re engine is ok. I recently replaced the timing chain and while doing so messed up the head gasket. It would spew oil out the side at the top where the timing cover meets the head after I got it all put back together. I pulled the head to replace the head gasket and have been driving it around. I don't see any more major leaks, a drop every now and then but I think that's from the oil pan.
The thing is when the engine first starts up there is some white smoke coming from the exhaust.
The smoke goes away after a minute and the truck runs good without over heating. I can't tell if there is antifreeze in the oil. It doesn't have that milkshake look in the oil yet like one of my other trucks did. However, there is oil in the radiator, I wonder if that is from before the new head gasket? A good sign is I pulled the radiator cap while the engine was running and don't see any air bubbles in the antifreeze. Could it still be my head gasket handy work isn't so great?
Thanks for the help!!
