Four years back my A started to pump out white smoke, sure enough it was a bad head gasket. Found antifreeze in the crankcase. Replaced the head gasket with an IH/Case gasket. Cleaned off the deck and head real well. I used Permatex copper spray a gasket on the new head gasket, torqued the head to 65 ft/Lb like the repair manual states.
Now the A has started smoking white really bad again, I can't find antifreeze in the oil and the compression checks out okay. It has never overheated as long as I have owned it, don't know if it ever did before I bought it.
Any suggestions to ensure that the next head gasket last longer? Should I have the head checked and milled if needed?
