white smoke = really bad news my guess is that you blew your head gasket. this is a major repair, as they must disassemble the engine to remove this $60 piece of rubberized stuff which is within your head. much like the cream inside the oreo, its hard to get at. when mine blew on my 88SPG we were talking $1k. Coolant was getting dumped into your engine, and getting turned to steam, which is what the white smoke is. my heart goes out to you. danny FLACHIRO wrote: > Any help on why this has happened will be helpful.... > > Symptoms: > > 1993 900S Convert w/ 80,000 miles.
