Default white smoke on muffler

i got a 95 GSR engine on my 93 hatch

problem is when i am on high RPM and when it hits vtec a thick white smoke comes out of my muffler and a black spots on my rear end

i did a compression test on the head cylinder 1. 235 2. 240 3. 240 4. 238

there is no oil leakage but still once in a while i add oil on my car,

BTW i changed all my gaskets and seals like head gaskets, cam seals and vtec gaskets,

what could be the problem?

It's normal for a little bit of smoke to appear when VTEC engages. It happens to about 99% of VTEC-equipped vehicles I see. Hell, it even happens to my 1997 Honda Accord EX.

Was it just rebuilt? How long ago did you put gaskets on? Or did someone else do it?

that was 3 months ago since i bought the engine they changed the head gasket, valve seals and vtec gasket a friend of mine saw it when it was done,

i guess i must start working my *** double time to save a lot of money for this, might as well rebuild the engine while doing this
