these blocks are cast iron, while it is possible for them to warp, it is very rare that they actually do. Sometimes there will be remnants in the exhaust stream, coolant passages, etc that will cause a smoking condition for a while. Drive on it for a while, then get a block tester to see if compression gasses are still entering the coolant stream. Don't forget to retorque after 50 miles!
