This is a huge cloud, and it does not go away as the exhaust warms up. I do not see coolant levels changing and the smoke has a sweet smell but not like coolant that I have smelled burning before in cars with blown head gaskets and the oil on the dipstick is not milky (milkshaked) at all, the same with the coolant in the overflow, no signs of oil rising to the top after sitting for hours.
I know that there is a typical spot between #2 and #3 that blow, can I attach a standard compression gauge to a Saab head? The plugs seem down quite a ways. And without an overhat why the heck would my head gasket blow, and the engine does not run rough at all.
I guess I am just getting more confused and more concerned.
