I've replaced my Corsa Bakkie's cylinder head, changed plugs & oil, cleaned the petrol pump, replaced everything that I could.

There is still a funny noise (like the sound when you put a card at your bicycle's wheel) and sometimes the smoke is white/grey/black ...

Please assist, I have been spending a fortune on it so far and is sure that I'm missing something stupid.

That "card in the spokes" noise sounds like an exhaust manifold leak. Since it didn't do it before the repair it would most likely be an exhaust manifold gasket leak, and not a hole in the manifold itself.

The white smoke could be antifreeze getting into the combustion chamber from a leaking head gasket. Here is a link to a question here about how to test for a leaking head gasket: How to test if head gaskets are blown?

I hope that helps!
