As the title suggests after starting it when its been sitting and had time to cool down, itll shoot white smoke out of the tailpipe for about 30 seconds, then its gone. Its not the normal cold start smoke as it was doing it in 70 deg. weather today.

I first noticed it a few weeks ago, and it looks like it might be getting worse, I hoping its just the angle/light that makes it seem that way. It looks like blown headgasket smoke, but I just paid $1600 to get them changed (about 2-3 months ago), and I haven't noticed any coolant/oil mixing, its not burning either one at an unusual rate either. And from what I can tell it doesnt seem to make it run any different.

I really hope you guys can help me here, cause if the hg's are gone again or its a cracked head or something, Im gonna have to sell it, as I just dont have the money to fix it again.

Thanks in advance.

Two thoughts.

If it's white smoke than it may be the head gasket. Check your coolant level to see if it's low.

If the smoke is blue it may be your valves.

I would go back to the guys that did your headgasket because I think they missed something.

its definitely white. man I was hoping you guys were gonna tell me it might be something stupid like using a different octane gas, or a different weight oil, but thanks for the quick response and everything. Ill probably run it by a garage I trust tomorrow, then Ill probably hit the car lots. Thanks again guys

I know this is a dead thread, but this is what is plaguing me...was there ever a positive diagnosis to the problem?!?!?
