White= Burning oil. So, my guess is that there is too much oil in you car. Drain your oil and fill to the level it says in the manual. Good Luck!

First off, you're about to appreciate RX-7s a lot less. White doesnt mean burning oil. Its a coolant seal. It comes down to you need to replace or rebuild the engine. If you cang get about 1700 dollars you can do a Turbo II swap. or a couple hundred and find a solid N/A block.

Ill explain it better.

If you understand how the rotory operates then I just need to explain that coolant travels all around the outside of the engine. Seals keep the coolant from seaping into the center of the engine. When it heats up everything expands and changes slight shape. Just enough to close up that gap.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone excited about a blown coolant seal.

Good luck with that, btw.

White Smoke = Coolant
Blue Smoke = Oil
Black Smoke = Excess fuel

Bad coolant seal is cause for an engine rebuild, at least you'll get to learn about the car as you replace the motor. Good luck man.
