White Smoke on Startup
I get a blast of this everytime the car has been sitting at least overnight. I am hoping it is just the water/meth that is spraying some moisture in the intake on statup. Anyone have this with the w/m setup or should I be more concerned?
Thanks Gary

Re: White Smoke on Startup
Could be a slow head gasket leak when the motor cools and contracts pulling the water in. Would probably have it looked at before there is a bigger issue.

Re: White Smoke on Startup
If it is a slow leak, can it be stopped by re-torquing all the head bolts to the maximum?

Re: White Smoke on Startup
A couple of checks...
Is it one pipe or both? A head gasket leak or valve seal leak would show up on just the problem side. Unless you have 2 problem sides. The water/meth issue would be common to both sides unless you inject into each manifold runner separately. Start the car with a piece of cardboard right near the exhaust outlet. Burned oil is smoke and will not spot the cardboard. Water/coolant/meth is a vaporized liquid and should spot the cardboard. |

Re: White Smoke on Startup
generally it's the valve seals leaking when you see white smoke on startup and then goes away after the engine warms. It's the head gasket if its the opposite, white smoke after the engine warms up, not on startup.

Re: White Smoke on Startup
Wouldn't valve seals leak oil? (blue) and not coolant (white)

Really though, I've alway considered oil smoke to be white. Can't say I've ever seen coolant smoke. At least knowing it was coolant. |
