Frustration! Head gasket or intake gasket
Hi all, 
Recently I changed my head gaskets. Within 200 miles I picked up a knock sensor indicator. I dove back in and changed my knock sensor and harness. Now I have white smoke pouring out of the rig just like when I had a blown HG. Can't imagine the HG going again but maybe.
Has anyone had a problem with white smoke being caused by a misaligned or leaky intake manifold gasket?
Everything was fine until I changed the knock sensor. Also can I do a compression check to ID a faulty head gasket?

In case there are any ideas out there here is the results of the compression test: All pistons between 148 and 151. Let them sit for around 3 minutes with less than a pound or so of loss.
