Tell me about my heads and pistons. Pics.

Were you seeing continuous white smoke out of the pipes on a cool day for a long time, or that never stopped? Just curious as to this is your diagnosis.

Have the heads and deck checked for warpage. Once they get overheated a bit and warped, your gonna keep having coolant and gasket issues 'til you have things shaved flat again.

Those look like some kinda mildly dome pistons....??? Vis a vis your other thread.... can you measure how far those poke above the deck at TDC?
