Engine starts and runs ok when cold. As soon as it comes up to temperature, it starts to emit white/vapor smoke from tailpipe and idle drops. Smells like burning coolant. I just replaced head gasket and had head inspected for cracks and warpage, no problems with the head.

Before checking the cooling system I would like you to check your transmission fluid and make sure thats within specs. If thats not going down any then you might want to do a compression test to see if its block/head related or intake manifold related.
