SOURCE: White smoke

these engines are pron to injector failure !!! white smoke means dumping fuel ! black smoke means lack of air ! blue means burning oil! its not an easy task! by all means not cheap! ull need 7 injectors and one #8 injector call a ford dealer to see the price ! but i would also call an international aka navistar dealer! there sometimes cheaper

SOURCE: 1993 TOYOTA TERCEL 1500cc Valve Seals Replaced now smokes much worse

You either have had the wrong valve seals installed, they are physically missing, or the valves are incorrect (too loose in the guides/stem too thin). The rocker arm seals will not contribute to your issue. If it did not have the oil smoke before you took the head off, the issue is with whatever the machine shop did. Valve seals have to fit TIGHT, or oil will go down the valve stem into the intake.
Take the head back to the machine shop & tell them to fix it. For free.

My 2005 gmc canyon just started blowing smoke out tail pipe but it doesnt do it everytime i start it. is this bad?

Possibly a leak in the head gasket. Take out the plugs and see if they are water wet. Run a compression check.

Taurus 1996 running rich not missing white smoke water comming out tail pipe water level staning same

different things could possibly cause these problems, you could have a blown head gasket, causing the white smoke to come out of the tail pipe, it might not be blown enough to lose a lot of coolant [ anti freeze ], but just enough to have some to go into the combustion area to be transferred thrrough the exhaust sytem. you also mentioned running rich, is the air filter in your car in good condition, if not replace it, dirty air filters can cause the engine to not perform it's best. if you find out that it is not the head gasket, check your transmission fluid to make sure it is not doing away with any, i have seen some cooling sysytems fail, when the transmission cooling lines hooked up to the radiator had allowed fluid to get into the coolant, check your coolant to make sure you don't see any oil spots.

Pickup is getting hot, have put a new radiator, thermastat, new sensor. now is smoking out the tail pipe and trying to die. There is not water in the oil.

You don't always get water in the oil, with blown head gasket, if the smoke is white or like steam, back head gasket, engine got to hot.Your getting water in the cylinder's, that's why it's running with a cylinder miss.

My heat stopped working my cars blowing smoke out of the muffler and my temperature gauge is past hot but the carrs engine isnt smoking

if theres smoke coming out of the exaust then the motor is smoking. sounds like you have a blown head gasket and it's low on water is why the heat isn't working.
