Default Blue smoke is back
Well the car is smoking its *** off again and going through the oil. I think its time to get the heads off and see what the problem really is. Im guessing it is either valve guides or seals, but im not sure. Not real happy about this. How much do yall think it is going to be to get seals and guides and what ever else it might need?

Thanks
Thomas

the problem is when ever i do something it ends up costing 10x what i started out spending. My car for example I set out just to get headers and on the same day I bought everything down to a 12 bolt lol
