white smoke

[nicksho]

my '89 sho is blowing white smoke out of the exhaust, and i'm wondering besides a blown head gasket what it could be. i found a broke in half spark plug when looking at the engine, maybe that has somthing to do with it?

I would replace that spark plug eek! . Your SHO is probably burning oil. Check your oil.

Isnt white smoke the sign of a head gasket or head problem? I thought that white smoke was burning coolant, i could be wrong, im pretty ******** when it comes to anything automotive.

If it is white smoke you may have a bad head gasket or a crack in the block. If the smoke is blueish in color you are burning oil.

my 93 mtx was doing that..i replaced plugs/wires/valve cover gasket and seals..the problems now gone..it used to do it only on start up..as if the oil would run down? im not sure
