    Ok Guys,

    I just bought a 2000 tacoma with 155,000
    I noticed on my way to work this morning a little bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, not a lot, just a little more than you would usually see I guess. Also, I hear somewhat of a roaring sound with the engine is beginning to idle, when I accelerate it mostly goes away. Also, when the engine is idling and I have the hood up I see it start to run ruff for a moment then stop.What do you guys think it may be?

    I think that its colder than normal and you are seeing condensation and its normal.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    If you're concerned you have a blown headgasket, you should check the compression at each cylinder. You can also start the truck with the radiator cap off to see if there is some coolant surging. This is not as fool proof as the compression test though.

    Most likely condensation due to the cold weather. Are you losing coolant?

    i haven't heard of the is it the 3RZ or 2RZ, but whichever one blowing headgaskets easily.

    if you were blowing ALOT of white smoke and not going anywhere fast then you might need to worry.

    I doubt its a HG. Get your compression checked anyway. A new HG is easy as hell to replace.

    Got it glassbead blasted to clean it up nice. Total disassembly, shaved and new valve stem seals. Mostly for reliablity.
