should I be worried? car was warm, I decided to rev it up alil...my cousin comes around and tells me I have alil bit of white smoking coming out at high rpm. I barely saw any but it has to be a small amount. I don't think I smell coolant...
this concerns me because I'm saving parts for a nice top build, now this has me worried that I could have bottom block problems...rings?
what do you guys think. and if I go all the way through with the build, scared i've wasted time and money if It needed more work.

if it was rings im pretty sure the smoke would be black or blue not white. I think your fine, ive watched quite a feq camemd dyno vids and at the end of the pull white smoke comes out.

eh could just be old age lol...i'm goning to take it to this guys house, he's a GM dealer mechanic, have him to do a leakdown test, since he has the equiptment, just to be sure before I go through with the top build.
Compression test because someone saw smoke coming out when you were revving it. . .
Overkill. Water level good? Oil level good? Car running fine? Was it morning or afternoon? Cool or warm? Dude, if its working, don't screw w/it.

hate to say it, just rolled 160K today. Reverse pops out of gear ( needs rebuild ), motor runs OK but u can tell she's been around, clutch has siezed during a burnout at the track ( 1st and only pass, til I get it right ), the rearend seems to do a posi burnout about 1 out of every 10 spins lol....but i'll keep it in mind, my bro-in-law backed his mazada 6 into the rear bumper last nite
, took off a chunk of paint, sucks...damn poor T/A has been through hell

You might be pushing water from somewhere...Your head gaskets might be starting to go...I would monitor your coolant levels to see if that is your problem...But then again, it could be condensation if the car is sitting for a bit and then you rev it...
Just have your cousin follow behind you in another car and punch it to see if you get the same results...
