Default 95 Millenia new head gaskets still smoking

I have a '95 Millenia was blowing tons of white smoke out the tail pipe, thought it was the head gaskets.

Just got the new gaskets installed today and everything put back together... still blowing tons of white smoke out.

Heads were straight, 99% pretty sure they were not cracked. Followed the tightening directions from the shop manual to the "T".

Could it be the supercharger? If so where do i get parts to fix it?

Thanks

oil sticks to combustion chamber, pistons, valves exhaust sys etc .. give it a couple of miles to burn that oil .. to me what u describe is bad oil rings on pistons .. lets hope the best.. ..

Just changed the head gaskets on my 95 milly last month with a partial rebuild. Had to drive it around for a while (200-300 miles) to get all the little kinks out. Car has 255K miles and will now run to russia and back...lol. But yea. Sounds like bad piston rings though. When you removed the heads to replace the gaskets were any of the cylinders filled with coolant ? If so, it was a head gasket problem. If not, it could have been the rings. To check for water in your oil, drain out oil from oil pan and check the oil for water... Make sure you had the heads 'resurfaced' when you replaced the gaskets as well.

There was water in a couple of the cylinders when I pulled the heads off.

Didn't get the heads resurfaced though, drove it about 2 miles the other day, still blowing lots of white smoke.

Pretty sure the heads are going to need to come off, and get the resurfaced.

By the way, does anyone know where I can find a vacuum hose diagram?

Thanks

He posted the question: "Could it be the supercharger?" I guess that would mean he has the 2.3L.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
