i dont know i this is a problem but in the morning when i start my car a little smoke comes out of my exhust. worming up right that is what i thought but. when i start it in the middle of the day it smoke to but is not alot of smoke and it is just when i start it and that is it it doesn't smoke any more i was just woundering if it is a problem. i dont want to put to much money into this engine because i am planing on puting an H22A in it.

no, its not a problem. it just means that your motor is starting to wear out. that smoke is usually caused by leaky valve seals/guides, but sometimes can be from worn piston rings.

i wouldnt worry about it for now, just check the level of your oil often and top it off as necessary. if it starts getting really really bad and/or starts to run like crap even after warming up, start savin for that h22
