...it's normal if it smokes up (from the exhaust) within the first few minutes...especially if starting up cold. BUT it shouldn't smoke up excessively or longer than...say 3-5 minutes. I've even searched for you: https://www.rx7club.com/search.php?searchid=1263651

Also, you didn't specify where it smoked..but I'm assuming the exhaust?

do you have to keep adding coolant? if so, replace your AST cap. If you still have to keep adding coolant after a new AST cap - replace the coolant line from the AST to the overflow tank. If you still have to add coolant every now and then, rebuild your engine.

If your not losing coolant, dont panic.
