RE: MGB White Smoke when idling

Many thanks to all who replied:

Consensus seems to be that its probably steam rather than smoke - if 
i'm very lucky its condensation in the exhaust - if not its leakage 
from the water jacket to the combustion chamber 

I'm afraid i'd forgotten about re-torqueing the head -  i'll do 
so this weekend (may not be too late?)

BTW - The replacement for my lost Haynes Manual hasn't arrived yet 
- does anyone happen to know how many ft/lbs and the tightening
sequence?
