White smoke?

[yellowcell]

Hello people, i have a 1991 s13 with the stock ka24de.

The Problem ------> When i am at a stop light or ilding my car and i am about to take off, a puff or white smoke shoots out of my 3 inch catback. well it doesnt seem to make a difference motor wise. and i say this becasue i cant feel a difference. i have been driving my car like this for about a year now. and i do change my oil regularly. any ideas? or anyone have this problem? i dont want to be in a drift show and my motor blows up! haha please help thanks you.

P.S ima try to get a picture in by today.

Sounds like a head gasket about to blow.. but for a year without any change? hmm

most likely your head gasket is done and its leakin coolant into the pistons because white smoke is burnt coolant, you wont notice much power drop(if any) but yeah it'll still be there. it happens to my eclipse(beater)....white(and now blueish which is oil) comes out of the exhaust when the car is idling.

You got bad rings...I think

you prob better off gettin a used engine. you might have a warped head or block which caused the thing to blow again. so the machine work wouldn't be worth the value of the engine unless its really low miles.

I had the same problem if it gives a sulfer smell then it is a crack head and/or a blown head gasket good luck man

Bad rings would equal black or darker smoke because you would be burning oil. White smoke is definately burning coolant, keep track of your coolant level and see how it is doing.

I was always under the impression, that black smoke was an indication of a rich condition(injectors, plugs, sensors). Blue or white smoke, or a mix there of could be coolant or oil burning , depending what you're actually seeing (rings, seals, something leaking).
