Time for a leak down test along with a compression test.  You probably won't
like what you find.  HFs tester works just fine:

Subject: Engine installed and blowing a little smoke

Hello All,
After a winter project of replacing the head gaskets in my 2.1 engine, I now
have the engine back in and just started it up and she sounds good, however
she is blowing a little smoke when I rev up the gas. Prior to my doing the
head gaskets this engine sat out for about a year. I'm wondering if a little
smoking is normal and should clear up after running for a while?
Thanks,
