The white smoke points to 'burning' water which is usually a head gasket.

Big job on that engine I'd think. No easy fix if it is.

Diagnosis is first as you need to find which bank. Try plugs off one at a time to see if you can find the dodgy cylinder(s) ie no white smoke or still runs the same, just don't run it too long or it could burn head/block interface.

Good luck!

its a new engine and the smoke is not coming out of the exhaust its from under the bonnet the water is coming out as quick as i can get it in there with a hose pipe its coming out the bottom just as fast, sounds like a hose that has burst or something, if its a head gasket then i dont think the water would flow out as quick as what it is

well .... i hope

I read the referenced thread and though it was white out the exhaust.

It doesn't look as if it's a head gasket with your latest explanation. Could be water pump or a simple hose burst.

You need to pinpoint exactly where it seems to be coming from then look at a drawing and see what part of the water works is nearest.

I't not a common engine so it might take a while for someone who 'knows' to come along!

White smoke ESP if theres lots equally a water leak have you checked rad / water pump and hoses?
