Default Car Smoke Problem !

Ok I got to my car , Turn it on and it starts to shake acting funny ,and I look outside and notice my car is blowing White smoke out from the tail pipe Ive been having this problem but never know what it is. I already changed the Head Gasket , Resistor Box, Main relay, injectors, pretty much everything what could be causing the car to star blowing white smoke ? its as if it's ok couple of months then it goes away then again comes back again. I have a ZC 1.6 on a 88 honda civic. Some Help here People.

did you have the cylinder head checked for straightness when you had it off for the head gasket replacement? warped head is just as bad as a blown head gasket. you are on the right track tho... white smoke = coolant in the combustion chamber

Do a compression test. Usually when you're blowing white smoke, it's a HG issue.

I got the head resurfaced and after the head gasket replaced did a compression test it was around 160-170. would the head just get warped after 2 or 3 months of use ???

You could've gotten a bad HG the last time. Do the compression test again.

Well if your block has low compression it will smoke. i had a personal experience where i had really bad white smoke to where i could see nothing behind me, and a week later i spun a rod bearing. so if your rod bearing gets warped from no water or and other senario's then yuor block may be int he process of spinning a rod bearing, keep me updated and let me know whats going on

alrighty, yeah spinning a rod bearing is usually cause by being ran without or with low oil for a distance, so if you have a slow oil leak then that will do it too. but keep me posted and if you need and suggestion on picking a engine lemmi know i have delt with alot of honda engine and i can tell you alot of sh*t

PEACE
