Well everything was back together so i tried for a start up to see how it runs. NOT GOOD! It was missing like crazy and the Check Engine light started flashing. Sounded and felt like it was running on 3 cylinders. Plus I was getting white smoke from out of the exhaust manifolds. So i shut it off pretty quickly. I pretty sure i have the gaskets seated right. I was pretty careful with that part of it. When i removed the LIM some of the coolant drained down into the cam area and drained into the crankcase. So i figure this was the cause of that problem. Coolant in the oil is never good. So i drained the oil and it was brown. I plan on flushing the system tomorrow. Hopefully that will resolve that issue.

As far as the missing goes i checked the plug wires( i put on new wires too, DURALAST from Autozone) And i noticed that on 3 or 4 of them i had a good 1/2 inch of the white plug insulator showing. But on some the wire covered the entire plug. Thats not normal right? i would think with the insulation showing that much it could have been arcing out. Am i right? Please tell me if this is normal or not. I looked inside the wire and on some the metal clip was only an inch or so inside the boot and on others it was further down. I plan on returning them tomorrow unless i here differently from you guys. Are Duralast wires any good on these cars? If not what should i replace them with?
