On the way home from hanging out Friday night I got on it a little bit and it started popping and missing. It's done this before so I assumed it was bad wires, plugs, or coil pack. The only difference this time is that I started hearing a knocking noise and saw smoke pouring out the exhaust. The smoke gets worse as you give it more gas. I pulled over and saw oil all over the engine. It seemed to have come out of the valve cover breather. I drove it home and it drove like crap. It was missing and popping and smoke was blinding the people behind me. I got it home and let it cool. A few days later I cranked it to see if I could pinpoint anything. The noise seems to be coming from the passenger side valve cover. When I give it gas it pops and blue smoke puffs out of the valve cover breather( turbo bypass kit). I'll try to take the valve cover off tomorrow and see if anything looks weird. Any of you have suggestions on what it may be? A bad valve seal, valve, rocker arm or shaft? I'm praying it's nothing inside the block. If so it's time to park this thing for good and buy something with no power so I won't be tempted to show off it's power.
