i have just done a full head gasket etc with the head machined after car had a blown head gasket but now the car blows smoke when it revs could this be a timing issue! the motor never smoked before pulling it apart!

how long did the engine sit open after you whipped the head off! My guess is that you got a little bit of rust on the cylinder bored and maybe that caused it to poke the rings! and no timing cannot be the issue, its either as i have said, or you haven't torqued the head down properly

Does it start easily when hot and cold! Not missfiring!

Did not smoke before you did the head gasket! Or did not smoke before it was overheated which caused the head gasket to blow originally!

did not smoke before the car blew the gasket up untill i put it back together startd it upand now it smokes.

with a compression test will this show wheter it is the rings or a faulty valve guide as 1 guide never got replaced as we could not get it out!

Maybe it got hot enough for the rings to lose tension!

possibly although i started the car after the car had overheated after putting more coolant in the radiator but now it smokes a white/grey smoke with a faint blue tinge

To eliminate ring prob,hold foot about 1/2 throttle on accelerator for a few mins ,if blue smoke stops.not a ring prob. If still smokes,valve seal prob,were the seals replaced!
