Re: So why is my motor smoking?
compreression test is your friend. Any time you rebuild a motor get the head freshned up its worth the money and if you already went ahead with the bottom end spend a couple bucks on valve seals atleast they are so cheap

Did you change the valves/ do a valve job?
How many miles were on the head before you did a rebuild?

Re: So why is my motor smoking?
how many miles since the rebuild? with the cometic heag gasket and arp head studs it shouldnt be a blown head gasket unless your lifting the head which is actually pretty common. valves wouldnt cause smoke but would cause loss of power. valve seals will cause smoke because oil is leaking into your motor. you said it was white smoke so you can probably rule out valve seals. i would say your lifting your head, try some copper spray on your head gasket. other than lowering your boost (which im not advicing because im not one to get flamed on) i dont really know what to tell you.
