| check your engine oil level. if u get hold of a cylinder leakage tester and cylinder compression tester, see where the oil could be leaking to (rings, valves). <----- due to long life, engine wear |

| Before you drive another foot, check the timing belt. Big gas mileage, lots of oil consumption, terrible noises, the timing belt's jumped a tooth |

| You think that the timing belt would make my car smoke really bad becuase it's ridiculas how much smoke there is could it be the head gasket and if so how much would that cost to fix???? |

| i know a guy with a garage full of motors that could be swapped in for extremely cheap. on the other hand, headgaskets aren't hard to change, but aren't likely to be the cause of oil smoke. it'll be the valveguides, and a head swap is exactly the same amount of work as a headgasket change. ask matt if he's still got some heads with good valveguides laying around. |
