    To be honest... white smoke is generally from water getting in to the system... so generally a coolant leak internally. If there is really alot, then thats the problem I'm thinking. Is the head torqued down properly? I didn't catch why the head gasket is new... but if it blew before, sometimes you have to skim the head as it can warp a tiny bit and not give a good seal. Unfortunately retorquing the head if the gasket has started leaking generally rarely works. You may have to remove the head, have it skimmed and get a new gasket unfortunately.
    (but this is just my impression from your short post - would definitely be nice if it this wasnt the problem).
    Brd.
