someone gotta know this
i have a fully built ls v and its still not tuned...i have rc 370 in there and one day i put in stock injectors so i wont burn so much fuel until i break it in and on that day the problem started. When you turn the car on a lil smoke come out bluish a lil bit and when you start driving after about 2 minutes of driving white smoke start to come out none stop and when you park the car for a while it stops. This happens with whatever injector i put now. Some people say it could be piston rings or head gasket but its not mixing oil with antifreeze so i'm not sure i would think that if it was piston rings it would smoke white smoke the whole time. I took out the injector one time and i have oil on it, it semed i had oil in the intake manifold so if anyone knows or had this happen b4 please let me know asap
Re: (iVteC_PoWeR)
Did you just swap injectors with no difference on the base map? Either way, first, check your oil and coolant. Are they mixing? Is there too much or too little of either? Thats the first step....if you're adding a qt of oil every 100 miles.....well....you didnt even need to post. Then you'll need to do a leak down or compression test to see where its coming from/going to.

Re: someone gotta know this (Fastwhip)
basically, check your cooling system first.
white smoke is usually a sign of burning rad fluid.
when your engine is cool check your radiator, see if the fluid is low. look underneath your car to see if any rad fluid is leaking out as well. is your engine temp rising rapidly? i suspect rad fluid is getting into your cylinders causing the white smoke.
my guess is your headgasket might be gone...(this type of leak would let rad fluid seep into your cylinders and mix with fuel, not necessarily also with oil).
by the way, blue smoke would be from oil getting in the cylinders.
hope this helps.
