might be moisture in the exhaust

Why did you rebuild it?

Thanks guys for your attention.
Head gasket blew after a track session.

Where did it blow?

Is the smoke oil or water. Put some tissue over the tailpipe and then check the residue

Between 3rd and 4th cylinder exhaust side, in the thickness of the headgasket.

mine went on number 3 cylinder, but i think the head was'nt true.

both enigines ive had have blow 3rd to 4th must be a weakness, also on my thread martin said that No.3 is the hottest of the cylinders, so more prone to detonation, rather than blowing hole in piston, it prolly eats away at the headgasket instead.
