Holdrege,
Nebraska
ok i have some issues 
I just replaced my timing belt, did the balance shaft elimination and installed a new clutch. NOW, i get the motor back in the car, start it up and it smokes to all hell. I dont have my downpipe hooked up so the exhaust comes straight out the o2 housing....after running the car for awhile thinking it might stop smoking i shut it off...i noticed some stuff on the frame so i wiped it with my finger and its milky white oil....so obviously its mixing somewhere....im pretty sure its mixing in the filter housing (91 model) so i will change that out and see if it helps with that. BUT, what i cant figure out is how the oil/water mix is getting to the top of the piston to burn? this engine ran fine and didnt smoke until my dumbass decided to dick with it...so i know the head gasket is good...it was recently replaced and didnt have problems before i pulled the motor. Do u guys have any ideas on what else it might be?
