White smoke is the sign of water or coolant burning. Most likely this is caused by a bad head gasket or a cracked head. Have the car checked out ASAP before more damage is done!

specific engines have a outfitted-in protection margin , and rapidly 6 cylinders have that - using layout, there is no pointless vibrations that could desire to be compensated for, in comparison to V-6 and four cylinder designs. in case you meant between a V-6 and four cylinder, neither will final particularly long, while countless rapidly 6's have been commonly used to bypass 250,000 miles or longer in some previous Chevies. actually relies upon on make, variety, and upkeep. As to extra advantageous vs. smaller engine, confident, a stronger one won't have as plenty tension that a small one has in producing capacity, so till the bigger 4-cylinder grew to become into over-under pressure in an excellent extra advantageous vehicle, it can be a extra useful selection than a smaller one. back, the three M's - Make, variety, and upkeep, make all the adaptation in what makes them final.

It depends on where the white smoke is coming from. Under the hood, or from the exhaust. If its coming from the exhaust, then your piston rings are worn and oil is leaking past. My car smokes for a few seconds when I start it, but it goes away once its running. Maybe your valve cover gaskets are worn and oil is leaking onto your exhaust manifold which is very hot and burns it, creating smoke. Hopefully its not anything worse.

IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE AT LEAST A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND IF YOU HAVE WATER IN THE OIL YOU STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF A CRACKED HEAD.
