What's up with my engine?

hi ive taken my ej20 engine out changed the clutch and timing belt and put the engine back in when i stared it there was alot of white smoke gradually getting worse and alot of oil being past through the exhaust and cant work out why ..

Our answer:

Hi Marcus,

White smoke is usually caused by water/steam, which means either a warped cylinder head or a blown head gasket most of the time.
