I had my intake manifold gasket change along with the valve cover gasket. White smoke is still coming out of tailpipe?

White smoke means engine coolant is entering the engines cylinder's . Which could be a bad head gasket , cracked head or block , or intake manifold gaskets ! I wouldn't drive it like this you could damage the engine more !

im not gonna defend the guy, but when an inexperienced person changes a valve gasket, oil drips everywhere . it gets on your exhaust manifold and will burn off causing your car to smoke like cheech and chong!. as for smoke coming out of your tailpipe. that could be something completely different., why did you think you needed to have your valve cover gasket replaced? were you burning oil. or was oil pouring out of the valve cover? did you check your oil dipstick? was it milky? or clumpy? was your car losing power? need a lil more info. starter could be he shorted it. or it was just time for it to go. starters just go sometimes. no warning. but like i said no info. smoke deffinately worse cause of oil on exaust manifold. it will burn off eventually. hopefully that will be the end of the probs. but check that oil. look for color like milk. power in car getting less and less. if thats the case. than blown head gasket. many other possibilities. does it leak coolant? maybe freeze plug popped out. lets just hope alot of spilled oil and big smiles. :)

SEE WHITE SMOKE YOU HAVE BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAKING.IF YOU SEE BLUE SMOKE ENGINE BURNING OIL DUE TO WORN VALVE GUIDES AND WORN VALVE SEALS AND WORN PISTON RINGS. CHECK SPARK PLUGS IF THEY OIL SOAKED ENGINE BURNING OIL.

I’ve had vehicles come in with white smoke to me it might be vapor that’s due to water going thru the pistons.

check head gasket and also check inlet manifold for cracks or inlet gasket

White smoke usually indicates a blown head gasket.

Make sure you use OEM Injectors. The white smoke might come at a 3.5 from a bad gasket bewteen the intake manifold and the throttle boy or if you have the 3.8 from bad gaskets between the intake manifold and the engine.

I had the same problem with my '87 Buick LeSabre 2 years ago. But it didn't seem to fit right, the car was running fine up until it just didn't. I had 3 professional mechanics swear it was a blown head gasket. I researched thoroughly and found out this particular engine make has a DEFECTIVE upper intake manifold which can break down and cause coolant to leak into oil, simulating a blown head gasket. The NHTSA had issued a recal on SEVERAL GM cars with this engine, EXCEPT for the '97. I filed a complaint with the ODI and as of today it is now COVERED as a "Defect & Recall". NHTSA ID number 96V116000. This MAY be your problem if it is NOT the "usual" blown head gasket. Hope this helps.

hi its rob cylender head or cylender head gasket or ileak in cooling system check oil for creamy white sludge if non then take of radiator cap start engine see if it bubbles up turn of engine and smell into the radiator for fuel check accesive amounts of water or white smoke coming from tailpipe ether one of these maens cylender head of gasket blown

If you find any coolant loss, likely the head gasket is beginning to leak or you have a small crack in the cylinder head that is opening up when it warms up. If you have it checked, you will save yourself large problems down the road. Sometimes you will see a slight greenish residue on spark plug electrodes. Sometimes even shop tests are inconclusive if leak is very small. But, I can't see the smoke from here and really can't advise further.
Good Luck
