WHITE? hmmmmm.............

If its white - you're burning oil - i believe - could be a headgasket - or something.............

Ebay - get a headgasket for like $39 or so.........

Could be a broken ringland also

Do a leakdown and compression test........you can do a compression test y ourself by buying a kit from NAPA or something

White smoke = oil???!!!! Maybe if you're running vegatable oil......

Burning oil is blue or black, coolant is usually white - but it could also be the cleaner you put in your gas. How much/what kind did you put in, just out of curiosity?

Just as precautionary - check your coolant and oil levels and see if either is different or if either look like tan mud. That's the quickest way to see that something is bad wrong somewhere. Hope that's not the case!

Also, spend the extra $ and get your headgasket from Honda; if that's what it turns out to be.

most of the time white smoke is just condensation in your pipes. dose it go away after like 30 mins of idle or driving?

Also, check your oil and coolant - just in case.
