a while back... a friend told me that i had white-bluish smoke comin out of my exhaust... mainly during downshifts. recently, i started noticing white smoke from my exhaust during idle after a long drive... or sometimes during short driving around town. my valve seals arent leaking... i checked my plugs spark plugs for signs of oil... none. compression doesnt seem to have dropped since the last test. 150s across the board. coolant levels are fine. any ideas what this could be? could it be my rings finally goin out on me?

i have a boosted b18b in my teg. drag3 kit with 2.5 exhaust.

 

sounds like your headgasket

 

i see no signs of oil leakin from the headgasket. what are some other signs of a headgasket problem?

 

here are 8 signs of a bad head gasket......
coolant in your oil, oil in your coolant.....white smoke, poor idle......white smoke.....mixed fluids...white smoke...oh and white smoke ....just a few there are more but i cant remember off the top of my head.........

 

I had the same problem in my GSR, we rebuilt the head and i still had the problem with the smoke. compression tested perfect but i was told that if you want to determine if rings are shot to do both a wet and dry compression test, after i did both it ended up showing my rings were shot.

 

sometimes you can't see a blown headgsasket....if the leak is along the outside edge of the hg, then its visible, but sometimes it could be the perimeters of the cylinders which isn't visible...

 

dammit... it might be my rings just like i suspected. ill run more tests as soon as i get a chance...
