Going to be pulling the plugs tomorrow and doing a compression check on all cylinders. Anyone have info on how to replace the head gaskets? Any one have access to alldata? i'd really like to know what im getting my self into before i think about doing it my self. Only thing im worried about is the timing. Anyone in Orange County, NY that could help? And what parts will i need? Head Gaskets and new head studs? And should i copper gasket the studs? Im pretty sure my head will also need to be decked cause i think what caused this problem is when i blew my radiator and my truck overheated. My email is bauman43@me.com if anyone can send me some info on how to change the head gaskets. Hoping for this to not cost over $200.

He is simply going off the most common issue and general consensus of what white smoke is from and all the issues 4.7s have with them. Either way, we all will agree the smoke is from something getting in the conbustion chamber, being burned and exiting the engine. Whether it be oil or water, the engine needs to be broken down. While is is apart you are going to replace the head gaskets anyway as well as others.
