i got my lude a few weeks ago i did basic mantenince to it pluggs, wires, fuel filter, and i put mobil one oil i dont think they used synthetic b4. also i degreesed the motor weeks ago but have not driven it. i just took it to get the timing done up the street and when i got there the motor was smokeing a little by the header could that be because of the degreeser or the oil????
for the timing im getting belts , tensioner, pump and cam seals

thanx

 

probably just residue burning off nothing to worry about unless it starts doing it all the time

 

Probably the engine degreaser you used.

yup. it should go away after a while. if it doesn't after, like 100 miles or so, get back to us...

 

i figured out the problem when i got the timing done the other day there was something wrong w/ the new water pump so they said they were gonna get me a new one it was leaking antifreeze the day i picked up the car i got home and the motor smelt funny and was smokin a little i noticed the leak under the car son i ended up takeing it back today so for the 2nd time they told me everything was good to go and that there was a problem w/ the water pump seal but it was fixed . my house is not even a mile away so when i got home i checked and sure enough it was still leaking, so i called the owner and brought it right back they said the water pump was defective and that the car would be ready 2morrow. thanx for the help

 

just got my lude back they had to replace the water pump again this one is not leaking but u can still smell antifreeze I figure its prob only the antifreeze that leaked b4 WHAT DO U THINK ????
