Smoke and oil out of exhaust Well my motor starts and runs, poorly. At first there was white smoke coming out of my headers (they are open) and now there it a bit of oil as well. I am having a diagnostic read the computer on monday, but i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what is wrong. I purchased the motor from a guy who said it ran fine when he took it out, but it doesn't seem like it 
. It seems like it is running way too rich. Anyone have a suggestion?

Are you sure it's oil? It could be just running so rich that you're getting condensation and carbon dripping out. Might want to try a compression check or leak down test on all cylinders. That will let you know what cylinder needs attention.
