Bizkets is Drunk? Too heavy needs boost Member 5,929 Member For: 11y 4m 26d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 26/01/19 04:45 AM Share Posted 26/01/19 04:45 AM Gave the car a punch through to 3rd gear and when I got off the pedal my brother was behind me and said a cloud of white smoke came out the exhaust. Is it to much fuel. Or is it to lean or something else I need to worry about. Cheers lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much fuel makes black smoke. Lean makes no smoke. Burning oil or coolant makes white smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe coolant as it leaks some but cant find it. So probably a stuffed gasket. It still making power and drives really well. If it was a bugged head it would run like sh!t yeah. 1 hour ago, Rab said: First time in a while you've given it the load, or would it be puffing every time?

Worn valve guides or valve guide seals can cause your symptoms. Is there any smoke at startup? You'd need to be outside to watch it as it can clear up very quickly. If you're going through coolant then that could also be the cause of the smoke. An engine can still run great with serious problems, until they progress to the point of causing drivability issues. If you think that it's burning coolant, there is a test you can do to find out if there is combustion gasses in the cooling system. If it is a one off event then don't worry about it until it becomes more of an issue. If you suspect a leaking head then check your oil and coolant daily for contamination.

Doesn't burn oil. Can notice some coolant on the ground but I cant find a leak. Going to do a pressure test Monday. No smoke on start up also.
