Finally got my car running, now it smokes

[Kingb]

I had the head resurfaced and flywheel lightened and balanced. I finally got my engine flooding prob fixed 90 325i. Thanx guys it was a clogged fuel return line I think. Now it runs rough, sputters when you give it throttle and it smokes. The smoke is white and just smells like carbon. I have new plugs in the mail and my ICV isn't plugged in the harness wont reach. I have to rerun the wiring. I can't figure out why it is smokeingand sputtering now. Next week I am going to take my friends 325i and start swapping parts to narrow this down. Any ideas??

afm

I put another afm and stock airbox on the eta, it would run like shit so I swapped the afm and all is well now.

White smoke from the exhaust is either ordinary condensation or vaporized coolant. Condensation should stop once the engine reaches normal operating temperature except in very cold ambients. Condensation is more gray than vaporized coolant and quickly dissipates. Coolant is very white and tends to remain in the air, making it easy to tell the difference between the two.

Coolant leaking into a cylinder(s) could explain the white smoke and misfires.

Headgasket new??

[Kingb]

Yes the gasket is new and was torqued then to yield twice like the bentley says. I will put new plugs in when they come in the mail and my plug wires are mis matched right now since a friend borrowed them when it was tore down and I wasn't around and lives an hour away. I'm not buying wires new since I have a MS unit almost done.

yield twice like the bently says? What does that mean?

[Kingb]

Torqued to 33ft lbs or what ever it said, turn 90 degrees all the way around then do it again. I have just heard people call it yield since it is not a torque

[xLibelle]

the part i'm concerned about is "twice what the bently stated" which suggests you over torqued the bolts

No he got it right, he's just saying it weird.
