After cleaning the EGR and chamber in resides in, Re-installed EGR properly and left it unplugged while starting up. Wanted to blow out any loose build-up before re-attaching the egr wire plug, I noticed an endless stream of white smoke. Is this the build-up just burning up (was alot of build up I removed from the chamber)? I noticed no cooland at the bottom of the chamber when EGR was removed. Should I continue to let it run until it clear (if it will)before re-installing the egr wires? 2nd EGR valve cleaning in 7 days!

Yes run it. Take it out and get it up to operating temperature and then see if the smoke goes away.

I got it up to temp. in the driveway and after a few minutes at around 3000 rpm the white smoke stoped but when I came back to ide it started heavy again. Also I noticed a sut and moisture spot under exhaust tip. Any help would be appreciated.
