Engine overheats

Clouds of white smoke coming from the engine. Where within the engine or its coming out of the exhaust?

Have it block and pressure tested-do the block first to pinpoint a combustion leaking into the cooling system or a gas analyzer to sniff for hydrocarbons at the radiator fill neck. This will rule out the headgasket, block & cylinder head.

Pressure test: do not do a pressure test if there's leakage at the headgasket this might cause coolant into the cylinders and lock it up or bend a connecting rod if cranked thereafter. The headgasket should be repaired before doing the pressure test.

If the block and pressure test passes check the following: Thermostat, Pressure test the Rad. Cap, Clogged radiator, Fan clutch, Radiator electrical fan, collaspe hoses, water pump.

You getting me twisted here-confirm the color is it bluish or whitish I need to know this before we proceed.

It could be the headgasket, block/head or a clogged-up crankshaft ventilation system
