Ok guys, i got my motor put all back together tonite and went to fire it up, well she started right away but blows white smoke like crazy, ya i know its a coolant leak somewhere so i took the clutch side apart and found i forgot to put the "c" clip on the aluminum line coming out of the top of the water pump, its the line that runs between the carbs up to the head would this cause my bike to smoke like that or do i have a bigger problem? Next i found the left pipe isnt even gettin warm while it was running but the right side was heating up like normal, and the compression on that side is nothing like the right as well. I checked to see if the plug was firing and it was...any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks

Big problem no not really. Its more than likely the head gasket or your oring leaking coolant into the combustion chamber. Check/ replace the head gasket or fix the oring if you have an aftermarket head.

stock head or aftermarket head? sounds like an issue with that side. how far was the motor torn apart?

stock heads and it was a complete tear down to the point of replacing the crank, pistons, rings and all gaskets associated with this and also stock reed cages and carbs. the plug on that side is really wet but i cant tell whether its coolant or fuel it looks and smells like both. i thought it was hydrolocking itself on that side but pulled the plug and kicked it over a few times and it didnt shoot anything outta the norm. funny thing is the "good" side pukes more smoke than the side that seems to barely be hitting....hell this thing is pissin me off
