To answer your questions surf4runner. I did not do a compression test i was not sure if it would really give any accurate info being that the headgasket is damaged and would probally leak the pressure from there anyways.
When you ask about changing the cover with out changing the oil, do you mean when I originally replaced the tensioner that broke? If so, I put fresh oil in when I put the truck back together and I also dropped the pan so I could be completely sure I got all the little parts of the tensioner. and it also broke a tiny piece off the timing cover and the driver side guide, so I got all that stuff outta there and then put the pan on. I changed the oil/filter a day or two later too so I knew it was nice and clean in there, and then a few days after that when I first noticed the white smoke to be sure it was not milkshaking, and twice during the short time I drove it like that.
