Oil smoke from leaking valve stem seals is blue, and it will be a puff at startup. White smoke immediately after starting cold is a BHG. Steam from the exhaust while warming up is normal. If you're a cheapskate you can fix a BHG for less than $400 with ARP studs, OEM HG, head resurface and gaskets.

The CPS has nothing to do with compression test results. Of course the tester can't have any leaks. Did you test with the throttle fully opened?

Check for exhaust manifold leaks

Sweet. It's really similar to my own car.

Were the rods resized?

Center is correct. Definitely check for true TDC on cylinder 1, and double check the timing belt.

x2. I'd use either of those before a Walbro.

It's the large 90 degree elbow vacuum line directly behind the alternator. Take it off and cap it on the intake side. The 57 trim won't affect it.

Check the vacuum line to the gauge

Install your injectors and AFM housing, upgrade the intercooler and install a 255lph fuel pump. I would recommend a wideband.

Shaft play on turbo? When I blew a Driftmotion 57 trim it went from zero smoke to absolutely pouring out at all times.

They make a very light clicking sound, nothing you would be concerned about.

I would go ahead and disassemble and hot tank everything and get the block surfaced properly for a MHG while you're at it. Replace the bearings. If you don't have the means to pull the engine right now, I would call the project off until you can do it right. I know it's not what you want to...

No. Oil leak. Freeze plug behind timing cover?

From your description it sounds like rod knock. Can you post up a vid of the noise?

Thanks. The wires are all labeled on the alarm itself so I should be able to sort it out.

I'm working on replacing the heater core and I discovered an aftermarket alarm under the dash. The wiring is a horrible mess of electrical tape and splicing that is preventing me from taking the dash out. I would really like to just cut all this out, but I'm wondering if it's going to cause me...

Did you use RG58 cable? Ground at the ECU side? Read through this carefully. http://oldschool.supracentral.com/htm/knock.htm

Same here, but I have a feeling it's because they don't know what it is. 99% of people don't give my car a second look, then there's the 1% that point and scream SUPRA!!!
