whoa, easy d00d. don't do anything crazy with them tablets.

most engines that have been sitting around and moved around and transported will show white smoke for a lil while. drive it for a few days and see if it goes away. like when my buddy buys rolled over cars, they smoke like mad for the first 4-5 hours of running, and these are brand new cars usually.

pull the plugs and check their condition. besides that, just drive it for a few more days. are you losing coolant noticably? like do you have to refill all the time?

well i was driving it hard for the street tune... and drove it today, pretty hard just working her in... my rad is full, and i filled the bottle to about half way, and it was almost drained today, so i topped it up..

and maybe while ur helping me out with this, when i drive her hard in vtec, my lifters (valves) start to tick after a while.. my dad says its cause all the oil is in the head, beacuse after i let her sit for about 5 minutes its back to normal, but oil level is good..
