help? just a few (or alot) of problems
ok heres the deal. i recently picked up an 88 rs v6 camaro. the previous owner replaced the engine 2 years ago, blew a head gasket a year after that and its been sitting for the last 6 months completely untouched. when i got it i got a new battery (the old one was never disconnected so it was dead) and after 20 minutes got it running and on a trailer and home.
the thing is, it smokes....
bad
i haven't replaced the headgasket yet but i wasn't sure if this was a sign of a bigger problem or if it was just the gasket.
it sat 6 months in the winter so i'm not sure whats up
any suggestions or help would be apreceated
the smoke

looks like bad head gasket/bad valve seals replace the head gasket and see if it still does that and if still does look at valve seals thats about all i can tell from pics thats wrong
