Changed the oil 2 weeks ago, and the motor has a fresh rebuild with only 67,000 miles on it !!!! It only clicks when i acclerate ? It almost sound like the cap and rotor ,But not sure

well... white smoke almost always means head gaskets. check there... imagine if your oil had coolant in it what it would do the the bearings/lifters/rockers/etc.... tick tick tick rebuild...not good.

So if my head gaskets are leaking it would smoke through thru the exhaust ? but what would cause the lag in power ? [&:]

um burning anti-freeze is not a horsepower adder lol Check if the radiator is low, and then pull the dipstick and see if it looks like a milkshake
