There is white smoke issuing from the tailpipes of my '87 vette. Does this mean that the head gaskets are gone or are the heads cracked?

possibly, is it heavier smoke (steam) than the normal condensation of a cold start up? Check your dipstick for signs of water in your oil, also keep a close eye on your coolant level.

Race on!!!

A lot, a little? White smoke equals oil.

Shut er down. You have a coolant leak into the combustion chamber.Like you said, head gasket is blown or a cracked cylinder head/block.Sorry to hear about it.THe only other thing could be the Cheech an Chong theory:SMILEY::beer-fresh:

white smoke is steam, condensed water. Oil makes blue smoke. A gasoline rich mixture makes black smoke,
