Re: white smoke

If its a valve seal it shouldnt be very much, like 20$, but if u say white smoke im thinkin on the lines of a head gasket, blue would be oil, and whites usually coolant. check ur oil and ur coolant, see if they r low

Re: white smoke

valve seals arent cheap to replace... sometimes they have to take of the head to do it and thats the most expensive way, most places need to remove the valve to get the old seal off and the new seal on, there for they need to take the head off! its basically the cost of a head gasket job plus the labor to change the valve seals and the cost of the seals too!
