Rebuild kicking out white smoke
Well, I've been driving on my rebuild for about 300 miles now and I've been following the break in procedure from RX7Pro.com to the letter.
I noticed that at startup the car will kick out a big puff of white smoke. Also, while I'm driving or just idling it will still give out a little white smoke. As far as I know, white smoke = burning coolant right? So do I have a problem here or have the seals just not had time to seat properly yet. I checked my coolant level last night and it right where its supposed to be. I havn't gotten around to checking the oil level though.
Comments, suggestions??
Thanks for the help.

Fuel is blue smoke, does it smell sweet? Sounds like coolant, and coolant seals dont need time to seat, if it is the coolant seals then its time to get your rubuild warrantied.

fuel is black/dark grey actually, thick white smoke is coolant and has a sweet smell about it, thin white smoke that does not have a distinct smell to it is normal condensation from combustion and thins out as the engine warms up, blue smoke is oil burning.
are you premixing fuel/oil? if so, at what ratio and how are you mixing it?
