I am a new honda owner, I've had my 2000 honda accord for about 3 weeks.

I picked the car up from a family friend who is a mechanic and he told me that he replaced the timing chain, head gasket, re-built the head, new valves and seals, he also re-built the trans (which has nothing to do with my issue).

Three mornings ago when I left for work I notice when I pulled out in the street there was a plume of bluish white smoke in my wake....

Now I have only put roughly 350 city miles on the vehicle since I bought it...

Any ideas before I go and talk to him??

I'm thinking there is a problem with the head gasket??

Any help out there??

your engine is burning oil
most likely your pistons rings are bad

but your valve guides could also be the cause

most likely the rings prolly have one cracked or somethin of the sort had the same problem with mine

Probably a blown head gasket. Pull the sparkplugs and look at them. Run a compression test or have the mechanic you bought it from do it.

i think the problem is with your engine once check your engine.
