Re: smoking
Wellcome! I did have the same problem when my car use to have a KD-8, but I resolved the smoking thing by replacing the valve guides seals.

Re: smoking
I'm also interested in how much replacing the seals would normally cost. Thanks.<P>Steve

Re: smoking
it's sometimes normal for that to happen when your "racing" or shifting and revving real hard there might be a puff of grey smoke

Re: smoking
Very normal for any K series engine, most likely its the valve seals but from talking to Vaughn he has told me that the piston rings have been known to gum up and not expand like they should. Valve jobs are really expensive, much cheaper to buy a couple extra quarts of cheap oil and throw one in every 1 1/2 gas fill ups. Unfortunately thats what I have to do.
