Comes on rough, then goes good again at some point while driving, and stays good.

A roller coaster of emotions to say the least. Luckily (?) my check engine light came on while coming back from lunch. So I took it in and had them run the codes. Misfire cylinder 1, and running too lean cylinder 1 and 2.

Fuel injectors are on their way. The guy at the store thinks that both problems happened at the same time, or within days of each other before the head gasket rebuild. Makes sense due to the white smoke remaining, and no coolant in the oil anymore.

Like I said, hopefully this helps someone in the future, but this is the first I've heard of a head gasket, and fuel injector going bad within days of each other. Scared me to think I did all of that work and the engine block would need to be replaced anyways. Could still be the situation, so I'll report back tomorrow after the fuel injectors come in, and I replace them.
