Mike (Ford79) did a bunch of research for me and we are pretty sure it is intake gaskets/manifold. So I ordered up those parts. We shall see. Blowing lots of white smoke but the oil is still absolutely clean. I just changed it a week ago. No water in that. Sorry I missed your post Tom. I tore the intake system down on Saturday afternoon. Now I wait for parts. Probably will be installing those on Thursday or Friday after work.

If that has a 3.1 in it then I would say the intake as well. Those are notorious for those to fail. I coulod possibly help Friday but Thursday I have plans, let me know.
I will let you know how plans progress Tom. I ordered parts from Rock Auto online so I do not forsee getting anything until Thursday at the soonest. It has the 3.8 which also have known intake problem.
Thought I would post up a few pics from Monster Jam.
Pretty cool I hadnt been to see this since I was kid. Looks like were gonna get a little snow tomorrow. There talking 1"-3" for us. The wind should make it fun.
Jay looks like your on track with the Lumina, hope all goes well for ya putting it back together.

Troy those pics are great, I am sure it was a good time. It looks like they really built a high ramp for them to go off of. I might have to go next time.
Thanks for the words of encouragement Troy. Looks like you had a good time at MJ. LAst time I went (maybe 3-4 yrs ago) it was kind of lame but looks like they have kicked things up a couple of notches.
Good morning Steve and anybody else lurking around.
