Search for burning oil and grab yourself a sandwich and read up.
A lot of peoples cars burn oil. Just check your oil levels whenever you put gas in and you should be alright.Good luck.

uhhh you said white smoke, which is coolant not oil, but it probably your valve guides are shot, and need to be replaced, but i would also check your headgasket as well as look in the coolant overflow tank to see if there is any oil in there

iight my coolant level is ok and there just antifreeze in my over flow the smoke doent come out my tail pipe unless im at like 5000 rpm and beyond

i know this may sound stupid, but were u drving in the rain when this happened? Because my EM2 does it in the rain. What happens is the exhaust gets hot when u rev like over 5g and the water spraying on it evaporates. Like under about 5g the pipes dont get that hot because of the minimal exaust flowing through. Thats what mine was, because i noticed it wouldnt do it when it was sunny out and dry roads.

Oh boy that sounded stupid, but sometiems problems are of the stupidest nature. Good luck figuring out what it is!

actually it could be oil.....oil burns white smoke, gas burns black smoke, and a mixture of the two is a blueish color....

Coolant burns white, fuel burns black, oil burns a greyish color

well first of all vtec motors burn oil while in vtec,as for it being white smoke you said you checked the overflow tank and there was no oil so its not the headgasket, i dunno man

omg_miiiike

bump for an old thread, my car does the exact same thing.. so i'm wondering..

TallAssFilipino

You guys sure you haven't been "smokin'?" lol
Good luck.

it is most likely ur rings, im getting my motor rebuilt because its doing the exact same thing. i bet ur rings are fried. mine only blows out a little bit and the guy gives me 3 months till my motor goes kahpoof. ur smoke is probaly a white-bluish smoke, cause white is definantly coolant and blue is oil. i wouldnt run ur car that hard or pop vtec that much, thats what i have to do and it is really hard

EgRedSi

It must be JDM white smoke.

omg_miiiike

whenever i 'pop' vtec it blows out whitish/blue, i just had cams installed.. stage 1. then all the problems come

maybe a blown head gasket..

omg_miiiike

i hope its just a head gasket..

Toolman

changing the gasket on a civic doesnt look too hard..

yeah, it's really not. but if it's piston rings that are gone. thats another story + another 400 bux.

O RLY

Could it be the rings? If so, have fun...I know I am right now. (rings went on my H22)

those seem a lil low in your motor? im getting 200 psi with my a6/z6 mini me.

Don't pop VTec, that'll stop the white smoke.
