Smoke keep coming from the exhaust manifold. The thermostat was changed out and also the valve cover gaskets were and engine coolant. But smoke continue to come from the manifold. The coolant be bubbling and its a whole lot of pressure that's stuck in the lines. What can possibly be the problem?

If the coolant is boiling, it sounds like the engine is overheating. Is that happening? As far as the manifolds, there has to be oil getting on them from the valve cover gaskets. They must still be leaking. Check for that and let me know what you find.
