Morrie ...just keep in mind that Subliminal Messages are illegal....despite that...the stupid television channels keep trying to use them every now and then (hate that :evil: )

You missed a pearler of a race meeting in your neck of the woods this weekend...even the Kingswoods were applauded for the great show they put on (with a minimum of panel damage :oops: ) :D

Well, I started the car up last night, and there was no smoke...If anything MAYBE a few white puffs, so I'm not sure what the go is.

Very strange...

Sounds like it could be valve stem seals, or quides, or both.

Get the head done up and go from there. If it still is smokey, well ya have already done the head for the next motor. 8)

Go the import engine... unleaded, low km, approx 1990 built. 4 synchros decent gearbox, timing chain tensioner, pre engage starter. Enough coming in now they are cheap, some places even offer a warranty that they are decent.
