    So I changed my LIM. I noticed the intake was pretty pitted but hoped the gasket would hold as the pitting wasn't too deep. Now the car runs great but when first started there's some smoke coming from the exhaust, smells like coolant. As it warms up it goes away until you rev it. There seems to be no water in the oil, could it just be the yellow rings not sealing under the supercharger?

    I took it for a test drive and was out for about 40 minutes, even did some shopping. Ran perfect. Great power, idled perfectly smooth. When I stick it to the rug it goes, but there's a little bit of smoke behind me..looks white. The more I drove it the less it seemed to do this. So I'm thinking its either burning out the crap in the intake ports that got disturbed, or the gasket/o'rings are seating properly as its being used. I'm gonna drive it this week and see how things go.

    PS I see nothing in the oil....on the dipstick it looks like.....clean oil.
