Re: Cold engine and smoke

[dherv10@xxxx]

Erik, White smoke usually means that the oil is seeping into the 
cylinders normally from around the valve guides so: When you first 
start up you will get white smoke and then it stops after it burns 
off. This will hasten the fouling of the plugs and 02 sensor. A burnt 
looking smoke that is comming out of the tail pipe all the time is 
usually comming from around the rings due to wear.
Hope this helps, From my old engine days.
