[TheSquee]

My b16a is facing white smoke at start up , just a puff of white smoke.

spark plug covered with engine oil

right now using mineral oil 20w50 bardahl.. any suggestions on something similar to use ?

maybe 15w40 ? worried i burn oil as of now i use the bardahl no problems.. but people say B16 shouldnt use mineral true or false?

Squee,

Its got nothing to do with your type of engine oil....
Your socket seals have hardened/cracked & need to be replaced... pic below
Oil is seeping through the rocker cover and pooling in your sparkplug socket, the oil then seeps through the plug thread and into the combustion chamber causing white smoke at startup...
