Smoke coming out exhaust

By LX_Sedan
- Wed Jan 06, 2010 11:03 pm #166393 I have a 95 civic LX D15B7. A couple months ago I replaced the cylinder head with a reman unit, and head gasket cause it was overheating and lots of white smoke would come out exhaust. Now the car runs fine and I was all excited until I started seeing a bit a smoke when idle, then as I accelerate a lot more comes out. The smoke is like a light white, not as bad as it was before. The exhaust is spitting out a bit of water and some black stuff and smells like gas. I also replaced the spark plugs but they are not the exact NGK ones, car needs ZFR5F-11 and it has
ZFR4F-11, would that make a difference? Thanks for your help.

Especally if it stops after a while when the car/exhaust is warm. Then it should clear out.
