White Smoke

[JohnD1079]

was your engine ever overheated? Could be the piston rings if so

LOL@ this thread. Dont go changing nothing until you pressure and compression test your engine. If you had a blown headgasket you would know it. Need more details. What else is the car doing? Idling funny? running hot? Using too much fuel? using too much oil? Be more specific

well my car does all these things actually. ...sorry to steal this thread as mine.

my car throws white smoke in the morning. Oh no, i need to change my headgasket..NOT! You need to take a pressure reading from each cylinder. Find out if the car overheats. Is the radiator fluid low? Is the oil low? Change your oil and check to see if its tainted.

If you can smell coolant in your exhaust, you probably have a head gasket leak. If you don't, you're probably getting condensation in a section of your exhaust that has a dead air space and when you nail the throttle, the pressure builds up high enough to blow the condensed water into the hotter exhaust gas path and push it out the tailpipe as steam.

well my exhaust has holes small not big could that be the problem cause my car never overheated before the oil is good looks normal when i changed the oil last time.

ok...i dont smell any sign of coolant and white smoke still comes out due to the cold weather...smells normal to me
But it only idles funny 3 times so far at start ups seperate times ago. and i already made a thread about this but no one seems to answer so im stealin this thread since im on it.

i guess all those questions u just asked means it'd most likely be something with my head gasket as well?

do a pressure test
