good News; the car is ok!

I 'll be keeping the bird since its no longer smoking! Maybe it was the weather or something, but its running damn clean, and has been for days now. I had my grandpa check it over and he didnt see anything wrong with it.. Now all I have to do is worry about passing emissions.

Amen! You probably just let something into the cylinders when you had the heads off, and it just had to clean itself out. Glad to hear you're keeping it.
