    welcome to the forum!

    how many miles are on the car? often times in high mileage examples of this motor the valve stem seals will wear out, and cause some oil smoke after cold starts.

        Thanks for the welcome ill get some pics up tomorrow or so. now with the motor im told that the yard motor only has 77,00 on her but the body and orig motor "which i have" has 169,000. the original owner replaced the motor because he said it smoked and couldnt get the timing right.
