Re: Smoke and Missing Under Acceleration

What color is the smoke? Suspect the head gasket if it's white smoke. My
'87 9kT is currently in the shop getting a new gasket + a little machine
shop work(checking head for any warpage, clearing passageways, etc.). Be
sure to watch the coolant level and the color of the oil!! Don't fool
with it if either are discolored. FWIW, they're charging me $450-$500
which is a heck of a lot better than the $600-$800 quoted to the boss's
son for his V6 T-bird head gasket!
Hope this helps...
