    no headlights, dash lights, tail lights!

    The blue box under the dash is the retainer retractor relay, it can make your headlights not come on but it should not affect your dash or other lights. The retainer retractor relay makes you headlights come up and stay up and makes them go down along with making the head lights light up. I...

    Power steering grinding noise

    Check/clean screen as mentioned, also check the hose that runs from the reservoir to the pump for kinks or bends. The hose on mine was soft and kinked and was starting to collapse.

    Polishing Question

    If you want to get rid of the lines on top of the valve covers the best thing would be a belt sander. As for when I started polishing I used a random orbital sander with 220 grit then moved to 460 then 800 then wet sand with 1000 lastly hand buff with a terry cloth and mothers aluminum polish...

    lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust....

    Very bad valve seals will cause white smoke, I just went through this. Also a bad turbo can cause it. Take the plugs out of the cyls and check to see if there wet with oil. If they are then its a good bet its valve seals. Take off the exhaust elbow and see if there is oil in the exhaust that...
