engine specs:
rebuilt 1.8 block with b16 head.
two layer head gasket.
skunk2 stage 2 cams, internals and so on.
background info:
blows white smoke selectively. usually happens when "dipping" into vtec, but not everytime into vtec. usually the first couple of times into vtec......doesn't seem to have a definite pattern though. have checked coolant. no water in coolant, no coolant consumption. does not run hot. consumes oil, but not a large amount (maybe a quart every oil 3000miles) considering CR, cams etc. before rebuild smoke was bluish (oil), now white.
thanks for the help and info. furhter, does any know a "good" and trustworthy mechanic with plenty of experiece with "THE B-SERIES" in central florida? i know this is debatable, but nothing worse than leaving your ride with someone you don't trust.

mine used to do that when it was NA going into higher RPMS. i never paid much attnetion to it ebcuase it always pulled dman good power and bad *** times.
i have a similar situation....pulls really nice, but i'm not used to the white smoke. i'm used to a litte bluish "blow through", not this real light white smoke. doesn't happen everytime into vtec, but as i reach 8000+ the first couple of times it's smoking pretty health.....
