I was messing around with my timing some more tonight but before I could go to my favorite stretch of road, I noticed white clouds of white smoke coming from both tailpipes. Now it never did that before. I ruled out head gaskets because I doubt they both just went bad. It kind of had a gas smell to it.
Could it be the rings are shot or did it have something to do with me messing with the timing. Like I said, it just started doing this tonight. It pours out pretty good.
I know the engine probably has some miles on it but...damn..I'm going to be pissed if it needs rebuilt now.
It just seems odd that I was messing with the timing and now it smokes.
