Post Head gasket failure??

Occasional White smoke on heavy acceration, smells like anti freeze in car when you see smoke. Oil is not milky.

Having just gone through this, take a look at your radiator overflow tank to see if it is overly full. Open it up, after it cools down, and smell to see if you can smell combustion gases. Most important, do a compression check. You'll probably find a damp sparkplug that smells of antifreeze which will tell you before you do the compression check.

Do these soon to avoid damaging your cylinder walls which may be using glycol instead of oil to lubricate your cylinders.
