smoking ; is it steam ??
when the engines warmed up to normal temperature, put your hand over the tailpipe while its running , see if its moisture on your hand= headgasket gone
or is it hazy blue/grey smoke ??
same thing when its warmed up, if you blip throttle does it belch blue/grey? if so you may have done more than just headgasket, as thats the colour of burning oil.
or throw caution to the wind, take head off, send it to be pressure tested/skimmed and then put it back on with new oil,filter,coolant,timing belt kit and try it ???
