White Smoke

I have a 91 Honda Accord LX that has 250K miles on it. As I accelerate I see white smoke from the exhaust, but none at normal speeds. The oil is not milky and the radiator fluid is not discolored or low. The car runs smooth no sputtering or missing at all. I replaced the plugs and changed the oil, I also added some "sea foam" to the engine oil and gas tank. Car ran even quieter but still see the white smoke every time I hit the gas hard and it disappears when normal driving. Is there any other thing I should look for i.e. change from regular unleaded to premium?

Thanks

Brett

RE: White Smoke

If you added Sea Foam you will get white smoke, although I'm not sure why it smoked before you added it. Also, I know Sea Foam is not recommended for high mileage engines as well (>100k I think).

RE: White Smoke

Cracked head and or gasket would produce the white smoke, also leave the milky oil and or low and dirty anti freeze. But would a burnt valve just produce the white smoke?
