White smoke blowing out exhaust is classic sign that coolant is getting into the cylinders, meaning
a blown head gasket. You can still use your car for awhile, but your need to schedule it ASAP
for a new head gasket.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: moderate - you'll need at least a Haynes manual ($20 at Pep Boys) for
your Honda car or truck, and while its a big project, your vehicle really needs it.
Until you replace the head gasket, your vehicle will need constant coolant (50/50 mixture)
added, and will perform like a dog - meaning it'll waste alot of fuel getting around - why? coolant
doesn't burn and cools down (and reduces the power of) the explosion in each of the
cylinders that're being polluted with coolant. The more cylinders affected, the worse your
vehicle will perform.
