goddamn this fbody!!! so i replaced the spark plugs today which was a PITA!!! now its smoking again on the passenger side near the manifold? replaced valve cover gaskets so i know its not that. i know its not the intake gasket because its dry in the back where the intake gasket rtv should be. any other ideas? maybe old oil?

 

is it leaving a consistant oil patch under the car? if the oil got soaked into the exhaust manifold it can take a bit to burn off. few minutes

 

as far as i can tell yes it is. well ill let it run again later today for 15minutes and see if it burns off.

 

if its leaving a consistant patch of oil then it sounds like its still leaking somewhere.

 

yeah i think so too i cant find this damn leak though.

Actual picture of the valve cover edge on a Lt1, kind of tuff to not see an oil leak.

 

definately will pick one up... so i was driving around today and my shifter is shaking like crazy and the car is shaking a little bit at highways speeds? i hope its not my clutch

 

did you do the plugs one at a time, maybe recheck all your plug wires and make sure there in the right place. easy to get crossed and with some its not so easy to tell.

 

i did the plugs 1 at a time but i will check again.

 

well i checked the plugs and they seem to be in the right place, i am going to take all the spark plugs out and re-gap them. they were pre gapped at 050
