86 trans am running issue and smoke
Hi i have an 86 trans am i just got and when i got it it had no carb distributor or valve covers and it sat for 2 years i threw a distributer in it and a pos carb i had laying around. i got car to fire and run!!! it blew wierd chunks out of the valve train . i changed oil and put valve covers on. now i had smoke (white) coming out of exhaust when i step on it, and out of breathers and carb?!? i pluged up carb and one breather and blew into other breather and smoke came out of intake . i replaced intake gaskets now vry little white smoke out of exhaust and still alot outa breathers and runs poorly .now i looked at oil it over filed(only put in 4 and half quarts). i thinking mayb risidual anti freeze in engine frome intake gasket cause there was some in the top of engine under intake.any ideas?!?!?!?

Check for a bad head gasket first, buy a hd gasket checking kit, and or pressure test the cooling system and refrain from the 4 letter words also.

Re: 86 trans am running issue and smoke
If you changed the oil I can't see that much residual causing this, change it again and see.

Re: 86 trans am running issue and smoke
ALWAYS change the oil after pulling the intake on a Chevy. There's no way to NOT get junk in the oil. Change the filter, too... Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.
