So the last thread I started involved a lot of white smoke and the car running really bad, but since then the valves were readjusted and the car is running a little better.
The car doesn't run 100% like it feels as if it should, and it is shooting out a lot of white/gray smoke, a lot more when i rev it up than if it just sits there though.
Not sure what diagnostics i should run, or what sensors/plugs i should check.
The car also seems a little rough wheni push the gas pedal, like my foot feels rough acceleration rather than smooth. What might cause that? shop says the fuel pressure is fine. Compression is fine. valves were readjusted.
just trying to figure out what fuel problems there could be.
Brand new NGK iridium spark plugs, msd wires, 3k on the opti, msd6al, new injectors, new fuel pump, fuel pump harness, etc.
I didn't have any of this gray smoke before i took it to the shop for the ring job, it just started happening, only problem i had with the first rebuild was a ring problem with blue smoke and an oil leak. This is a whole other set of problems.
any help is appreciated, thanks.

so hey, now i have blue smoke with black smoke and i have an oil leak and the car is running worse than before i took it to the shop.
Good thing i didn't pay the shop a cent yet, but still, doesn't help me out at all as far as getting my car back on the road.
Looks like i need to find another shop and get another full rebuild done.
Not sure why it keeps leaking oil, is there a special seal i should be using on the rear of the block or a set that is better than others?

You have all the signs of a head gasket failure.
