Whoa... I was saying this out of genuine concern. However, rereading my statement, I guess one could misconstrue it for some rib/dig at John, but that was not my intention (hence the smiley face...).
I had an issue with pitting on my head which allowed coolant to ever so slightly leak into my combustion chamber. I would hate to see something similar happen to this car. If that car was cold, I could understand the white smoke as a result of accumulated condensation burning off, but once warm it shouldn't expell that much except in the coldest of climates (e.g. Minnesota), and even then it shouldn't be that much. Hence my concern.
A simple explanation like "The car was was not fully warmed..." or "the HGs have already been replaced" or something of the like would have been a more appropriate response than an attack on me.
I love fast cars, no matter how it's accomplished - be it displacement, supercharger, turbo, NOS. Just saw a 650WHP Mitsubishi with a 2.3l engine running 30 psi. Simply amazing. Maybe someday I can get to that type of HP/L, but that's a dream for now. I digress.
We need to all work together and share information that we gain through our efforts to lessen the learning curve. It's kind of like that analogy of working together to grow the pie, rather than just trying to get the largest slice. By growing the pie we all win. It's a much more mature attitude.
For example I learned how to strengthen our
stock TT shafts by 50%. I'm happy to share the information once this BS stops.

I'm convinced all the problems you have had as of late are caused by Bad Karma.
Other than that I really don't have anything else to say here.

And as for my issues... and I have had issues, no lie there... they are a result of having a high mileage car, that had not been taken care of. I thought it was a bargain - no such thing. Bad Karma? I don't think so. I've done a lot for the 928 community and I go way out of my way to help people when I can.
I'd be happy to buy you a beer sometime if you'd let me and maybe we can bury the hatchet. What do you say?
