Default White Smoke

Car started smoking recently. No overheating. I can't tell if its white or bluish white. Smells like gas not really sweet. car runs fine no loss of power.
smokes more when sitting for a while.

Does this look white or bluish white?

Looks like over rich condition causing oil to wash past the rings...

You may need a tune.

How cold is it where you are? My car does something similar to that, but only when it is cool outside(40 degrees) It only does it when you first crack it up in the morning. It does run rich for a couple of minutes in the morning and then it goes to 14.7 like normal. I think I need to work on my cold start tuning.

The video was taken in the afternoon. Temp was aprox 70 degrees. I have the car tuned for nitrous. a/f was close to 11.7 throughout the rpm range.

Does the smoke look white or blueish white to your guys?

SO you think the valves are passing oil or the rings?

The smoking has stopped. I think it was just bad gas. I did regap my plugs to 35 anyways.
