still smoke...confusing!!!

i fixed it, temp stays fine, but oil pressure is slightly hige...still smokes, only at operating temperature and im not losing antifreeze. oil is coming out of the exhaust a little, pretty wet like its strangely mixed with the antifreeze. i fixed my timing up my pulling out the distributor and turning it one notch advanced on the cam gear. now it runs very well, and the power loss is gone. i can spin the tires on comand now. as long as shes not losing coolant or overheating, or the oil temperature doesnt get too high im happy.

Are you trying to say the noise is even better now?

yes the GOOD noise is better. oh, and i realized that when i was taking out the spark plugs to turn the engine to see if antifreeze comes out, and the spark plugs were sooo loose. i bet i lost so damn much compression.

You ever check the ring gaps to see if they are worn? Or if they turned in the bores? Plus if the oil control ring is gone or worn I could imagine it smoking.
