I've had a bit of a read and gonna remove pre cats tomorrow just to be on the safe side .. If it does turn out it needs headgasket can it be done in situ or shall I pull the engine out again ,, Thanks in advance , Lee

Head gasket would be thick white smoke, no power and no coolant in your expansion tank.

Does it look like this?:

Yeah but thicker and browner I'm putting that down to the dark reddish antifreeze  ,, and expansion tank seems to stay level ??

Was it smoking from first turn of key on the new engine? How many miles have you and it done?

Could be burning off some maintenance oil, did you change or just top up oil when you put the engine in?

Presumably you've put the new one in because the old was was bu**ered. What was wrong with it? Maybe something is still hanging around that shouldn't be.

Not at all positive, just some thoughts that might lead us to the correct answer.

Pretty much started smoking straight away gets worse/thicker  as it gets warm it proper plooms if you hold at 2500 revs  ,No miles as yet but been running for a total of about an hour  though ,last engine had snapped a con rod ,, and I put fresh oil in as I had to change sump ...

Right just swapped my engine in my 2001 mr2 ,, replacement engine was an e1z from a corolla I believe ,I used just the bare block and head with all my sensors ,injectors  manifolds etc etc .. It's now smoking a little ,white smoke when cold then lots of brown/grey smoke when it gets warmer and given a rev 2500-3000rpm ish .. No funny noises , runs well ,water and oil show no sign of mixing or pressurising .smells a bit catty (catalic converter) and or watery ?
Can I have your thoughts plz

To start the engine you removed was a 1zz and not an e1z. The engine you fitted has smaller valves and the ecu might not be running that engine right as it was set up for a 1zz

Sticker on engine [strike:47umirhd]defo[/strike:47umirhd] definitely says E1Z ,,I,m thinking that fueling could well be a possibility , would putting in the E1Z injectors in make any difference ??  Ps Thanks

I honestly think your better off getting the proper engine. Other than that your in the realm of unknown. Changing injectors,ecu etc may help. Or it could be the e1z is not a good engine.
