have you got it in time? the smoke sounds like you might have a vac. leak at the intake. or the smoke could be where you got some oil and water on top of the piston while you was changing the intake and have not had time to burn it off. id be cheching the timimg and for a vac leak. why did you change the intake ?Mike
