Bruzer White exhaust with a water cooled engine means that you have a blown head gasket or cracked head; resulting in water getting into the combustion chamber. Since we do not have water cooled engines that can not be the problem! One of the products of combustion is water and if you have very high humidity, the engine is sucking in a lot of moisture with the air. If the temperature is just right you get condensation causing fog coming out of the exhaust.

My daily driver is a '93 Jaguar XJS Coupe with the 4.0 litre in-line 6... they all have poor valve guide seals, so I have a regular daily ocurrence of burning some oil upon start-up... and it's always blue. Oh, excuse me... I just got a call from AlGore....   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/07/04 08:06 By Questcap.   Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #208796 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:Visible exhaust 4 Months ago   oil is blue smoke white is water vapour   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #208797 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 6940 Re:Visible exhaust 4 Months ago   it must be the english blue blood in the jag..I have the exact same problem on a 95 crown vic and it smokes white..

I will check some more, Its just tough to tell usually i will only see it when I open the throttle up and then I see it in the headlights of the car behind me and it is not consistent just a cloud till the power evens out. but dont see it during day and friends dont complain when they are behind me.
