| White smoke is usually from moisture, such as coolant (internal cooling system leak) or moisture build-up (improper crankcase ventilation) where blue smoke is from oil burning and black smoke from an excessively rich mixture. How much have you run the engine since it was put back in the car? It might be moisture from storage that will burn off after about 10 or 20 miles. Head gaskets or block or head casting failures can do this also. A leaking intake manifold gasket can cause a similiar problem. No doubt an engine teardown would reveal the problem, but for now remove the valve covers and look for water droplets or a whitish yellowish scum on the inside of the valve covers. This will confirm the moisture problem. Check the PCV system also. And as Bill says, tell us more....like; Is it worse when it first starts up? Does it go away when you accelerate?...etc. |
