Burning water
How many places can you burn water from?
besides crack sleve, or blown head gasket?
I just took a smoking HF motor out in favor of an SI (A6) motor I had lying around. I dont remeber my A6 ever smoking, but I noticed some white smoke coming out my exhaust. Not alot but its there, I also noticed some water driping out the exhaust tip. Anybody know whats going on?
Ohh by the way its NA.

Re:Burning water
Water should drip out of your exhaust if everything is burning correctly. Buring any hydrocarbon in air creates water and CO2 (with other oxides and nitrogen gas) so a little drip is fine. If you see huge voluminous clouds of white smoke, shut it off. If all you see is a little six inch puff of white, let it be. It just means your engine is burning gasoline inside of the cylinders not to be an *** or anything. You could also have a coolant line accidentally hooked up to vacuum. I have seen that before...

Re:Burning water
ok.. well, im just mentioning this because u said u just swapped in the a6. have u taken the motor out for a test drive and it still smoked.. or did u put the motor in, start it and see the white smoke. because it's normal to see a little white smoke when the car/engine/exhaust is all cold...
