After Replacing Head Gaskets; issues

See, here, that is the thing. I thought it was leaking coolant but today it didn't leak any coolant at all. The bottle is at the same level and has lost nothing this time. The upper hose got firm like normal this time as well. That and the exhaust only was smoking when at idle and not driving down the road. It is almost acting like it's getting too much fuel and not the steam from the cooling system. Even putting my face up to the stacks the smell was of fuel and not any coolant. That would be very noticeable due to the two bottles of water wetter in the cooling system would smell of ammonia, I would think. At least it did earlier when the head gaskets went the first time. I just didn't think of it when I was checking late at night after the commute home from work. Now thinking about it it is acting kind of like before I changed the injectors. Only it wasn't this bad. I had one leaking into the cyl after shut down. Hmmm, now I have more in my head.

Yeah that is what I'm thinking. I had one on the pass side that had give me fits when I replaced them. Stupid me didn't swap sides when I could have. Lesson learned there.

BTW thanks for the help.
