That smoke is more than likely steam, often happens when the water side of the gasket fails..done that! On 21st Jan, 2011 fastcarl said:

Me too! The best part is not running it, but starting it up and getting surrounded in white smoke Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

Should be ok. Only way is to see how it runs without stripping it and measuring it up.
