    White smoke and missing,,sounds like it's camin. ??

    Check to make sure you don't have coolant down in the spark plug valley, I pinched the coolant hose that runs to the throttle body when installing a cusco anti-sway bar and it pissed coolant into the valley, which caused a miss. Not sure about the white smoke, but that's never a good sign :yikes:

    Rebuild Thread w/ Price List (Pics)

    Um, the cleaning and dissasembly part didn't run me $1500.00, I disassembled the engine before I brought it to him. I paid $1500.00 for Machine Work only a miniscule amount of that was for hot tanking the block, head, crank. I really doubt you could have done this machine work in your auto...
