If it's white smoke, that a indication of a possible coolant leak into one or more of the cylinders. Check your sparkplug colors. IF they are "too" clean, then you definitely might have a problem. They should be "tan" colored.

You might need to replace the head gasket again. Worst case scenario is cracked cylinder head.
