Im not 100% sure here but when mine did this I replaced my witer pump and it fixed it. Mine was having the same exact problem

 

[DavidT2169]

Oops. WATER pump. Not witer

What color is the smoke

 

[NoLimit95]

You have either a burnt piston ring and bad valve or valve guide in Cylinder #8.

The engine design does not allow for coolant to pass in and around cylinder #8 on the driver's side cylinder head. The coolant dead ends there.

but like above questioned, the color of the smoke would help.

 

[cdd8808]

it is a light white

 

[NoLimit95]

it is a light white

No blue in it at all?

 

[cdd8808]

there is not blue at all just white

Then I'm gonna have to go with what I said up above.

I would strongly suggest doing compression test on it.

 

[slowmkviii]

Yep compression/leek down test time

 

[cdd8808]

ok sounds good thanks guys

 

[NoLimit95]

Please do let us know what the results are because smoking Mark's are kinda rare. This might help others in the future.

 

[cdd8808]

yeah i have fluid in my two rear cylinders

Time to find an other motor and set that one aside for a project someday.
