That is to say I have never had one apart.
I have to agree with Merk though.
A blown head gasket will sound like rod knock.
I do not see that much smoke from the muffler.
It looks like the smoke is comming from the side.
Did you install a pan gasket when you put it back together?

Guys, i assure you that the properly torqued, new head gasket and verified flat head was not leaking and that the muffler is literally soaked in oil and oil is actually dripping down the side of the holes where it's rusted out. It was so bad that i had to clean the garage wall where the muffler was blowing oil on it from 6 feet away. Also, the compression was so bad that a good portion of the combustion gasses were being blown into the crankcase and out the breather
All gaskets were present.
If you look at the video i posted in my last reply, you'll see the motor turning over with the head off and still making lots of noises, both from the top and low end.
