Dave,

I agree that I am not 100% sure about the head gasket being the issue but the sudden onset of this smoking so quickly after the overheat has been worried about the reliability of the engine...hence the I guess eagerness to dig in and see what is up. A full rebuild is not in the cards right now, however, so perhaps just leaving it is best. I will definitely do a compression test soon and report the results. This will hopefully give me some more info.

Thanks,
Brian
