Yes but white smoke off the side of the motor isn't going to be a head gasket. Unless it has an exhaust leak. Head gaskets leaks cause coolant to be burnt through the motor causing white smoke out the tail pipe. Or, coolant is passing through to the oil and mixing and making chocolate milk. Also this would loss of compression on two or more cylinders making the motor run poorly. None of these things match what Parker has told me. So I'm not thinking head gasket plus the 5.0 is not prone to Head gasket failure like the 4.0 is
