ALL motors emit white smoke at startup, it's from the condensation that collects in the exhaust system being vaporized as the warm exhaust gasses hit it. And it can happen no matter what the outside temp is. I think you're overreacting about this, as I said earlier if the car doesn't use an excessive amount of oil or the coolant level doesn't go down, then your motor is fine.
i hope everything works out man. good luck

apparently something is not fine if it is smoking. white smoke or not. had this same problem a few times with fourwheelers. confused me because it was white smoke and still had power but eventually they started using more and more oil and then i hope everything works out man. good luck

that motor with the ls1 pcv system will burn a little bit of oil normally. if coolant doesn't get low and your oil looks fine you should be okay. 500 miles for ring set...it can't be driven hard during this time either...maybe he did?...but you said you still had good power.

IT'S YOUR VALVE SEALS... not a big deal at all. Rings don't take long at all to seal anyway.
VALVE SEALS... got it?

mine will do it when i first start it cold and when i start it at full opperating temp. i let it idle and it still will smoke with little throttle given. as you probably saw in the video, i was almost at operating temp in the video.
