Im kinda pissed, white smoke from exhaust?

[schtozo]

Hi,
I noticed today after a hard pull on first gear right after letting the gas pedal go a cloud of white smoke from the exhaust. So i put the car into test after that and it only does it after 5500-6000 revs just after letting the gas pedal go. It does not happen with the gas pressed. The car does not overheat and im only running water in the cooling system.
So what could it be? Oil? Please advice and cool me down, i dont understand why shit happens sometimes.

check compression.
change/examine oil.
How many miles on engine?

Sounds like you're catching whatever at an early stage.
New head gasket?

White smoke from the exhaust generally points to coolant. Does the engine also run hot? If so, you're looking at worn head gasket vs. cracked/warped head.

Its just that i saw it today and really pissed md off because im trying to complete the project and always something happens. You understand me right? When you fix something the next weak link fails and it really bugs anyone. Its the reality that i dont want to see and probably neither anyone of you... Now enough of BS, the oil seems to be fine and no signs of milky appearance. I have put on the engine about 6000k since december last year when i bought it. It had 105000k but the odo was dead and the previous owner didnt know exactly the correct mileage after the odo broke.

The engine is running only water for about 6 months and the guage doesnt get beyond the first white line the one before the middle one, well it moves around both lines but stay closer to the first one not the middle one.

Sometimes - it just goes on and on..

Burning oil won't give you white smoke, but more of a blue smoke. Fluffy white smoke = water vapor.

Are you topping off the coolant expansion tank?

Yeah actually the smoke is kinda blueish i just retest it today but still didnt make compression test, i will do next year.

Not really, it is where it is supposed to be and it only has water no signs of oil in it and itbis very clear.

Here are some pics showing where my temp gauge fluctuates





This is a video i made so you can see if it helps

its burning a little oil. as long as your oil looks good and coolant is stable and clean just drive it. Get something in the coolant though to prevent corrosion. even water wetter or something

edit and dont rev it like that with no load on it

[lolcantturn]

Yep that's just about normal. Mine does that too, because I need new piston rings.
You'll know if your headgasket or leaking or if your head is cracked...the smoke is very dramatic and very white.

The revs where only to show whats going on, but i dont do that in any situation never. Yeah thats what i figured out oil burning ha! It will eventually get worse, am i right? So the fix is piston rings?

Yeah i know that water alone will corrode the thing but i am too lazy to do a proper coolant fill and have to bleed the hell out of it again, last time it took me like 4 days to do it right, i was just testing with water and it went good so left It like that.

I am tired with this car and im really considering getting rid of it with a huge pain in my heart. Over 12k spent in one year
