that would be a good place to start looking in my opinion. It just has the symptoms.

HEAD GASGET.
Your burning either one of two things.
Oil or Antifreeze, and neither taste good to the exhaust.
Check your compression, look for bubbles rising in the antifreeze and pull your plugs, See any green stuff.

One of the signs of a blown head gasket is foam when you check your oil. After you run your car .... check your oil. If you have some yellowish froth on the stick you have a blown head gasket. Also the white smoke is actually steam and should evaporate and not hang around if you know what I mean. I just had a blown gasket and my tell tale sign was the foam on the stick.

the antifreeze bubbles in the resevior when the car is on, the car feels like it lost all its power and i leave lots of white smoke behind me ,the majority of the smoke comes out of the passenger side but little comes outof of the driver side dut to the h-pipe so everything is pointing to the passenger head gasket =(

if u have a blown head gasket, u will have the milkshake in your coolant, because the engine oil will be leaking into your water jackets. and white smoke coming out of your pipes is burning oil. and the issue of most coming out one side, one side is probably blown so it is mostly going to come out the pipe on the side at which the gasket is blown.

The black crust is just carbon build up

Did you see any coolant in the cylinders?(you did drain the block first,right)and also how does the head gasket look do you see anyplace it might of been leaking.

i drained the ratiator and when i removed the lower head bolts coolant came out of there . the passenger side had coolant in almost every cylinder(mostly in the one with carbon build up) and the driver side was clean and the gaskets said ford so im guessing they are the originals the motor has 133,XXX when i removed the passenger gasket it was pretty messed up but no cylinder to cylinder blow out
