It would seem as though there is still a problem with the cylinder head or gasket,as white smoke is water getting into the cylinders when hot, did you get the head pressure tested? as it may be cracked.

Had the same on a previous car, cracked head was the cause.

What was the problem with the engine before you had it reconned?
Possible that it could be caused by other things as well. Use the sites Search and type in white smoke. Here's a link to one of the results it brings up.....

Presume op has a petrol 190,white smoke on a diesel is not related.

Are you loosing coolant? and any water to oil transfer(sludge) or oil in coolant?

Is it loosing coolant? Does the coolant smell of combustion gasses?

What was the original problem with the engine/head? Was there corrosion when it was stripped down?
