Most likely oil consumption due to excessively worn compression rings or valve guides. Intake manifold gasket issues on a VERY rare occasion can cause it if they are leaking in a way that allows the engine vacuum to pull oil into the combustion chambers.
needs overhaul rings ect.
white smoke is water. head gasket or ?
is this a diesel truck?does this engine have a turbo?if it is a diesel with a turbo,it will blow white smoke when cold till it warms upif it continues to blow smoke check your air filterother reason if it continues to blow smoke is the turbo is about to crater get it checkedalso check engine oil for coolant lossif coolant is leaking into cylanders,this will cause white smoke
Not directly, but it can crack or blow your head gasket. (Which will cause white smoke) Happened to me =(
because it can
It can.
White smoke is usually do to water in your system. That happens when you blow a head gasket, or have a cracked head. If your oil level is high check your oil for water, if so that's were your coolant is going. All in all you have a blown head gasket.
Bad exhaust valve / Not seating in the head
a blow piston or a head gasket in your engine
the rings are probably bad and need replaced
All cars blow white smoke when they are cold especially on a cold morning .Worst case scenario if it blows excessive white smoke all the time is a blown head gasket
White smoke is usually a sign of water in combustion chamber-check oil for any signs of water in oil
