Default white smoke help.
I reinstalled my ls1 and now I'm getting intermittent white smoke pouring from the exhaust. Pcv is clean no loss of power. Doesnt burn oil...so any ideas. Its around 35 degrees out.

White smoke usually means you're burning water. Is your coolant low at all?

So it's 35 degrees out and it stopped after putting a couple miles on it. Just making sure you know cold weather makes your exhaust smoke white, right?

No ****. I'm talking smoke screen cloud. And the word intermittent..means off and on. Not "only when cold". Thanks for the lesson in condensates though I appreciate it.
