Subject:White smoke on startup, running rich?
From:Dustin Jones

About 200 miles into my engine break in afte a rebuild, my 2.1L is blowing
white smoke when I start it up. Smells like unburnt fuel, not sweet like
coolant. I can see little drips of condensations coming out of the tail pipe
that quickly evaporate. Am I running rich? Leaky injectors? Maybe I should
take it to a shop and have the exhaust sniffed. I can't tell if it continues
to smoke while I am driving, I don't see any trail of it. I hope it is not
the head gasket, I will flip a lid!! I just got my baby running again after
a 3 year hiatus from throwing a rod and blowing a hole in the engine
block.....
