Snowman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Leaking intake manifold gaskets perhaps. Did you use OEM ones with no sealant? And yeah, it often takes a while to burn off all the water that made it into the exhaust and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 If Water Vapor Doesn´t Goes, maybe a Cracked Head... Or just a li´l fissure... if so, maybe you can fix it at a Good Welding Shop, but I suggest you to use the Engine for a While, maybe Vapors go... Good Luck!

Qman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 My first Subaru was an '84 wagon with blown headgaskets. The previous owner was told the engine was no good. I assumed their mechanic knew what he was talking about and replaced the motor. It blew smoke for 2 days of intermittent running until it started to clear up. Might be an intake gasket or the other side is also bad. I try to do both headgaskets when one goes bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
