new motor is smokin!!
Just built my motor and put new piston rings and etc on. Is the motor supposed to smoke like it is? its white smoke and theres a lot sometimes and not so much other times. im hoping its just because its a new motor and it will go away.... anyone have the same experience or know whats causing it? search is down so i posted here. thanks

well..thats not to bad..if it was fromt the engine then it would or could be a faulty hose..but since its the tail pipe ur either burning carbon (which is good) or your burning some oil..if it goes on for a while i would be concerned..but if its carbon, then it should stop soon

Ditto, if it's white sounds like your headgasket didn't seal all the way.

I was thinking the same thing White = Water/Coolant

Is it cold out? When its cold you can count on some white smoke when the car has been sitting.
