Curious, you didn't notice the engine overheating or water in your oil?

Ive been building a motor for a little while now. Now I just have to step up the production time.

MechEng - Actually nothing happened. I just looked in my rear veiw mirror and there was smoke everywhere. I managed to make it to the street I live on, about 10 miles away. There it died and I pushed it a good 20 yards or so. It could have been way worse, thats for sure

White smoke.. I didn't do anything. Just sitting at a red light, started to pull away, there was a slight hesitation and then a large cloud. O well, no biggie.
