well heres what happen, my car was fine until i got some ic piping done. the next day it started puffing out white smoke when i started it up and started driving. that happened all day long, then i come to find out that the ic piping still had metal shavings inside casue it wasnt cleaned out good enough. but the smoking has calmed down and it only smokes when i drive it hard??? black smoke then white smoke......i dont know, ive been told several different things but im lost. im gonna get a compression test and leak down as soon as i can but i just need some ideas..... thankss

I can think of a few things (some of which may be painful)

1. The shavings entered the combustion chamber and damaged your oil rings, or maybe even the head gasket. (long shot)

2. The shavings enter the combustion chamber and and is burning or melting.

3. Its all coincidence and your head gasket is blown...

oil rings or headgasket as stated above

methinks blown headgasket. white smoke is a sign og water/coolant leaking into the cylinders. check your overflow bottle for bubbles while your engine is running. if you see bubbles, your HG is toast.

I dunno how metal shavings would do that tho...
