New Radiator...white Smoke...? Helppp

[george.bryant]

Hey everyone. I just put a brand new radiator onto my L20ET, I had to get it custom made as you cant buy them new from any radiator shops anymore. The reason I needed to get a new one was that the plastic top tank on my factory radiator cracked.

So, I put the new radiator on and I have a weird problem... The motor is smoking chronicly, (white smoke that smells like petrol). When I first started the car it seemed like steam, wait a bit longer and it just starts pouring out this white vapour. Under acceleration it builds up more and more. And it sits in the air for a long time afterwards. Upto 1 minute once the car is turned off and theres capour still coming out of the exhaust.

This has me stumped as to what it could be. I have Oil, Transmission oil and Coolant so that doesnt seem to be the problem...

Anyone have any ideas? This has me stumped as it was running fine before the radiator cracked. Its also kinda lumpy in idling and the motor seems to be moving a little bit more than usual.

Regards, George

No sludge in the radiator?

Milky motor oil under the oil cap?

Radiator is brand new. The coolant is still green.

No milky oil so headgasket seems ok, plus it was replaced around 8,000 km ago

Everything sweet now, thermostat bleed valve was facing the wrong side of the motor there was too much coolant in the system.
