thanks!

 

Sometimes the exhaust will rust out if you let water get in it too often. Rotary exhausts are clearly hotter than others, so it will just evaporate it out. No big deal.

 

I'd just run it for a while. He's right, it might cause the exhaust to rust, but if the smoke and everythign goes away, you shoudl eb A-OK. People run water through their vacuum lines into their engine, so it can't be that bad.

 

White smoke coming out the exhaust? Pretty normal for water in the engine, yours just got in a different way.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, but I would spend 15 minutes or so screwing around at 6000 RPM, just to make sure the exhaust is all dried out.
