conpression in colant? Do you have oil in the coolant overflow? White smoke usually means you are burning coolant which leads me to believe your head gasket is bad, and if you do have oil in your overflow you have a blown head gasket for sure.

did you have the head milled to make sure you had a sure flat surface
?? also pull the valve cover off and double check the toque on the head bolts.

what does the oil cap look like?
