Re: white smoke....and its not the tires
well, i replaced my valve cover gasket, (which was leaking) and put in that header bolt. Drove to the nearest town with a gas station open at midnight, and went to the grocery store to get some cash for gas. After i shut it down, i noticed smoke coming from my engine bay. I poped the hood, but couldnt really see anything. So i went and got some cash and bought a flashlight, and it was my freaking valve cover leaking still! It leaks out the bolt holes, why would it do this? Then, I fired it up, reved it up a bit, and there is quite a bit of smoke coming out, black smoke. I went and got gas, and noticed the inside of my tips are covered in black residue, think enough to cover the chrome so you couldnt see the chrome, (only on the inside) What in the world could be going on?? Again, the engine sounds fine. thanks for any help, this really sucks.
