White Smoke
Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 9:16 pm
Hi Everyone,
I finally got my timing belt change and noisy tapets sort out and started tha car today. Engine is running smooth but notice a WHITE smoke coming out of the exhaust. More if i accelerate and if engine is under load. Took it for a test run and it just smoke. What causes this? Is this a big problem?bad? any suggestion to fix this? I'm hoping it's not the engine as tha car only done 132,000 km. I just recently change the oil and oil filter. Oh yeah and there's some traces of water coming out of the exhaust but no oil. The car was running for about 15 mins before i test drove it. One of my friend thinks the car is running to rich or timing is out. Will this cause it to blow white smoke? I can't notice a lose of power (but this is the first time i drove the zook since i bought it) only ruttles on the gearbox and i think transfercase (still in the process of changing the oil in them too. i was searching past post and sierra bible but no luck so please HELP!
Thanks
