Can a wrongly installed exhaust gasket cause white smoke to come from your engine?
No, a wrongly installed exhaust gasket cannot cause white smoke to come from your engine. White smoke from the engine is usually an indication of a different issue, such as a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. When the head gasket fails, it allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber, causing the engine to produce white smoke. A cracked cylinder head can also cause white smoke, as it allows coolant to leak into the cylinder.
