I drive a 2002 nissan almera, I got it 8 months ago. The car hasn't been in real time usage until 2month back...Howeva jst last week I started to hear sum kind of noise frm the engine wich was confirmed to be the engine chain and has affected the chain guard and adjuster,so therefore I opt for repair wich cost me close to 18k....After work done,the engine now works perfectly but my car started exhausting smoke.



PLS, WHAT CAN I DO?

I'm sorry I do not have an idea but should not be more than 65k. Don't become a regular visitor to your mechanic, "replace engine"

The causes of white exhaust smoke can vary; however, it is
common to see white exhaust smoke when first starting a car, especially on
cooler days. This is generally steam caused by condensation. As the engine warms
up and the condensation dissipates the white exhaust smoke (steam) is no longer
seen. If excessive white exhaust smoke is present well after the engine warms
up, it is necessary to have the car inspected for possible internal coolant
leaks. Indicators of an internal coolant leak include billowing white exhaust
smoke accompanied by a sweet odor or a low coolant reservoir level. An internal
coolant leak can also contaminate the engine oil giving it a frothy, milky
appearance. Even small amounts of coolant entering the combustion chamber will
produce white exhaust smoke.

It's also not unusual to see small amounts of water coming from a tail pipe. It is just condensation.

Before you believe you have a blown head gasket, run a compression check. A compression gauge is not that expensive.
