I would def check the top end. Check the cylinder piston and rings.

Your oil tank should have a dip stick of some kind to much fuel wouldnt cause it to smoke really bad.

But to much oil a bad thing.

stock honda calls for 1.8qts and the oversized tank says 1 more qt then stock so you figure 2.8-3 qts i put about 3 qts in.... what could to much oil do?


also if the crush gaskets on the headers are bad will that casue smoke?

theres a decent amount of smoke , the headgasket and valve seals are new along wioth all the other gaskets.. please help guys

Yah its most likely your oil rings on your piston. make sure the rings are sticking out of the piston a little so u get compression.
