    Why is my fresh rebuild smoking

    White is usually coolant entering the combustion chamber.Pull all the plugs and check for coolant. Use a pressure tester and check to make sure the system will hold pressure.Its possible coolant could be leaking from the intake and drawn into one of the ports.

    How to pick the correct headers...

    Headers on a street engine that operates at a relatively low rpm range have very little effect.Headers show gains in the upper rpm ranges in most cases.That being said,use as small a primary tube as possible.It will help maintain flow velocity,which is what makes a header work.
