sounds like you might have a gasket issue, i'm having the same problem, try a 'stop-smoke' solution, makes a bit of a seal on the gasket, you can get them at any car retailer, supercheap, autobarn, repco etc.!

has worked on my car for the time being!

hong,

every time, or just a couple of times?

what did it smell like?

what fuel do you use?

have you pulled the EUC fuse recently to reset it?

it could be: piston rings going, valve seals/seats, or retainer/valve guides. I'm tackling this $10,000 investment/nightmare myself. Next on mon. is to buy a new head. (now that the block is redone.)

wow, you can diagnose that from 'greyish smoke'?

you're good!

i'm going to give u a VERY layman and basic suggestion... did u by mistake by any chance put too much engine oil in recently???

what "R" do u have ? DC2 or DC5 ?

Seems to be quite normal for our lil hondas to blow alittle smoke under WOT.
AFAIK its from excess fuel being burnt at WOT.

could be many possibilites... probly best if you get it checked out by a mechanic or something.. but yeah... i dont think its your piston rings or anything because normally oil buning puts off blue smoke not grey..
