White smoke at 5500 RPM
Well im interested in buying this motor from a friend of mine, he says when he is at like 5500 RPM and mats it, he can see a little white/greyish, he isnt positive, in the rear view mirror. Its was in a d16y8 in a 96 del sol, what could this be, my guess is head gasket, but why just at that RPM and floored, also says he only noticed it a couple times, doesnt mean it wasnt there though. SO what could this be.

do you trust this person? getting an engine and finding out it has bad rings is a bitch... basically you have to tear it down pull the pistsons replace the rings and put it back together...
I have an older toyota truck and when you mash out and go wot its smokes in high rpms and i know for a fact the rings are bad.
does water drip out of the exhuast?

Re: White smoke at 5500 RPM (greebler)
hmmm...white smoke is generally a coolant issue (blown headgaksket), grey/black smoke is fuel. the grey/black smoke usually appears under WOT.
be more specific on the color.

if you had a shot head gastket, would the oil deffenetly be milky, he says, damnit i say that alot, thats its dark brown
heres the convo we had
him - are you asking if it smokes
him- sometimes at full throttle above 5500rpm
him - white
him - greyish
me - all the time
rest him - no not all the time
I noticed like three times
but I never really drove it that high in the rpms
