Just my guess.

VTEC solenoid opens, gasket leaks, oil gets onto heat sheilding wrapper on the exhaust header.. poof smoke!

could be other thing.. I'm just guessing.. (O_o)

burn gasket? the head cover is not tighten up properly? might be the oil is burning? might be some other reason. is the temp shoot high?

err.. many2 reason. might be other H22A expert can explain.

coz i know white smoke will only come out only early in the morning. hehe
or white smoke if the piston/valve/seals/piston ring is worn out.

1st just check for anything is leaking from engine gasket from any part even water or oil, if yes, then need change the gasket. almost its bcoz of leaking. if gasket burn also there will be leaking.

the car so old d...sure got little oil leaking...

when drive the car like normal ..nothing happen

it only happenned when i rev till it open vtec then check the engine..it's very very hot and white smoke come out from the engine block....even the word dohc VTEC also can see smoke come out..

the block very hot...

exhaust no smoke come out ler....

water temp also normal..

so what is the problem?

if engine overheat..the engine oil much be thick or dark color..but the oil also like normal..

is it the engine got little engine oil leaking so..the leaking oil gets to hot..so it evaporate?

Dear Sifu's

My GAB adjustable current setting very very soft... soft bumpy not hard. [Hi / Lo] TYPE only not the [Hi / Lo Soft / Hard] TYPE.
Even used my both hand can push up and down my ride... Does it mean i need to service the adjustable or need to set the ride lower in order to make it harder? Current measurement its like original height of Perdana V6.

Anyone of sifu's here faced the same problem like me? front very...
