Subject:      White smoke on startup, running rich?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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.....
