Icon2 My Honda's exhaust smoke and "tick" sound

Is there anything abnormal about what is in this video? (Description: The smoke there is on the car, fully warmed it does that. Video taken with car running after driving normal.)

My Honda is of unknown mileage, though it says ~200,000 on the dash, is a 1995 EX and appears to have the D16Z6 engine that EJ1 cars have... may or may not be original engine, though the engine *appears* to have been opened up at least once, since at least the Valve Cover is from a year 2000. This is about all I know. Automatic.

*I wish I had it running when I started the car, after letting it sit for 3 hours or so. It let itself do the "fast idle," but, upon the RPMs coming down, they "skipped" about three times... I wish I could have captured it on video. Maybe tonight, I will roll the camera again, to see if it does it. From a dead cold start... though it is warmer tonight..

It's really cold out where you are at. That looked like normal hot air in cold conditions steam. Another words, for the winter snow cold *** conditions, that looks normal.

If you are doing that in late spring when it's 13C and above out.... Then you might be concerned.

It's not overheating, loosing coolant and has power. Just drive it.
