Next check I'd do is Fuel correct then Spark Plug, if still then Check for a broken or miss aligned ring.
Note:
If the exhaust smoke is blue or gray: Thick blue or gray smoke is an indication of the vehicle burning oil, which means that oil is somehow leaking into your engine'scombustion chamber.
If you have wrong fuel say have 2cycle mix and put in a 4cycle you'll get fouling too.
Hope I helped
Mike

SOURCE: 1993 TOYOTA TERCEL 1500cc Valve Seals Replaced now smokes much worse

You either have had the wrong valve seals installed, they are physically missing, or the valves are incorrect (too loose in the guides/stem too thin). The rocker arm seals will not contribute to your issue. If it did not have the oil smoke before you took the head off, the issue is with whatever the machine shop did. Valve seals have to fit TIGHT, or oil will go down the valve stem into the intake.
Take the head back to the machine shop & tell them to fix it. For free.

SOURCE: white, blue smoke from exhaust

sorry to spoil your day but white exhaust indicates that you have a blown head gasket or the head and/or the block is cracked

Blue smoke at low rpms on a 22re toyota

Blue smoke indicates burning oil in the cylinders. Could be worn piston rings, worn valve guides, or bad valve stem seals. An engine compression test may help find it, but a cylinder leak-down test is a more precise way to find where compression is being lost. If compression is good, you just may need to replace the old rubber valve stem seals. A shop could do it without having to remove the cylinder head, using an air compressor hooked up into each cylinder while the valve train is being worked on. The air is used to keep the valves from falling into the cylinder while the seals are replaced. About a 4 hour labor cost, so expensive, but a lot less than a cylinder head removal.

I havea daewoo nubira and we replaced the valve cover gasket yesterday , did an oik change and now the engine is smoking white smoke. Try to check to hoses, could not see a leak. Where is the cylinder...

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

The cylinder head is located on the center of the engine. Yes it can be a worn out head gasket or piston rings. If the piston rings are worn out the oil is burnt that's why it emits white smoke. You will need to replace the head gasket and piston rings.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Got a 1998 dodge neon with the 2.0 dohv 16v engine and it seems to burn oil on idle but goes away when rev it up or take it for a drive got any ideas?

your valve seals are worn or guides on the head. wha you need to do is take a compression test of each cilynder and when you are doing that check each spark plug for signs of oil wich means that is the cylinder with the problem so its either going to be the head or the piston rings

I lost compression in one cylinder an it is the # 2 cylinder

Lost of compression is due to either leaking head gasket, valves not closing and seal properly or piston rings are worn and need replacing. One can tell if you have bad head gasket, oils contaminated by water when looking at dip stick, bad valves cause some smoke and run rough, worn piston rings will cause lots of blow-by and will cause white smoke heavily and also runs rough. Being 1968 original motor and never have been rebuilt will probably have over 100k mile will be needing tear down and rebuilt. Rebuilt it correctly will get another 100k plus. being 1968, doing your head and valves job or replacing head gasket if that is the problems and you can get by it. worn rings, I would rebuilt it completely instead repairing one or two cylinder unless you plan to get rid of it.

Celica ST 1.8 Valve stem seals

When does it smoke? All of the time, or just when you start it? If it smokes all of the time, consider piston rings. If you have lots of smoke when first starting only, valve seals and possibly worn valve guides are the culprit.
