                well, my supra smokes some times(usually when we start it) REALLY BAD(smells lke water burning, condensation...)

                and other times, it dosent smoke at all. (on the freeway, at the gas station etc)

                the temp is always normal, never overheats at all

                the only symptoms my car has now, is steam from the exhaust, and sputtering(rough idle)

                              -white jizz looking foam in oil
                              -bubbles in coolant while running (remove the cap and look in the radiator)
                              and all of the above like bluish white smoke that smells sweet.

                              Glycogen doesn't make a good engine lubricant, burned coolant screws up the catalytic converter, oil plugs cooling ports in the cooling system, etc.
                              It really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.
