and now i know

now I know why i was smoking so bad, i had a broken intake pushrod so that equals a dead cylinder that wasnt getting any air, also the lifter popped out of its bore so there went my oil pressure. So yeah then i have to call dealership that worked on my injector cups because i found brass shavings inside the valve covers..........
