i think the "lack of oil" may have scorched the cylinder walls (hypothesis
or wrong rings. OR the cat has degenerated & the loose bits gets into the engine part.
There were cases of this happening. Check the stock catalytic, if the honey-like material is still intact or broken. (you can peer into the stock cat to see the it)
then again, this is all guess hypsthesis work from me. as i dont know the history of car.
btw, is this the white SMT MR-S that you are refering too?

Another scenario is - Before the top overhaul, it was using a lot of engine oil. Maybe some engine oil was collected in the muffler and will 'smoke' when the muffler gets heated. If it is so...then u can try using another muffler or running without muffler to see whether is still smokes. Happens quite often to cars that drinks engine oils....where does it go?
BTW I decat my MRS and it didnt give out white smoke... :)
midship, well the mechanic is actually my uncle & happens to be the MR-S good old friend since primary school. That's y he rather sent his MR-S to my uncle for servicing.
koolspyda, hmmmm..... i dunno what's the next step that the mechanic or the owner will take to rectify the white smoke problem.
MRMIC2, thanx for the input...... i'll suggest to the owner to get another muffler to test out his MR-S.
Thanx guys for the inputs! I appreciated it a lot! :shades_smile:

Check the valve seats. Same thing happened to me on my sw20. After I remove my cat, my car became a chain smoker. Fix my valve seats and now shes kick the habit.
