I would bet on the BHG
Well it sounds like a blown head gasket....white smoke = bad!

i wouldn't worry about it as white smoke is quite normal in cold weather when warming up your engine
once you've been driving it and she's up to normal temp she shouldn't have any smoke whispering out so don't stress

I dissagree

He said that the car blows white smoke when in the morning, night and cold start. So all those times the engine would be cooler, I think. So what about a partially blown head gasket? Wouldn't it seat itself when warm...parts expand, and I would figure that this problem would bet better with warming the parts up....however there really is not enough info to make a GREAT diagnosis. Also I live in Manitoba....and we are having GREAT weather...so he should be getting somewhere around 25 degree weather out there. So it wouldn't get cold enough in the night....I drive mine around all the time in the plus 10-20 degree nights...no white smoke. I think there is an actual problem here.....

I took it to a mechanic and he said there were no signs of a BHG and the smoke appears to be grey so he belives that the vehicle is runnig rich on fuel....I dont know exactly what mods have been done to this car and he feels the last guy
may have purposly done this for the HP reason.....GOOD=more HP BAD =wasteing fuel |

you have to remember that some high mileage old cars do smoke on startup. its just burning the oil after sitting for a while.
