[QUOTE="Shamwoww88, post: 15981186, member: 186402"] Hey guys fairly new to the site, just been lurking around since I started shopping for a terminator about a year and a half ago. Brief history on the car, I stumbled upon one that needed some work right before my last deployment. Wasn't really the color I was looking for but I got it for 13k with 67,000 miles on it. Stock except for 2.93 pulley, intake, Pypes catback and I added a UPR off road x-pipe and did some suspension work. Pretty sure the guy was a weekend racer but nothing too crazy he was pretty honest about his weekend endeavors lol. I had the car for about a month, did some quick checks and tune up in the time I had and the car ran and still runs great, I've put about thousand miles on it so far. So my issue is: I have been noticing a small cloud of white/blue smoke during initial start up.(only start up and only after the car sits for a bit after a full warm up). I haven't had a chance to compression test and leak down test it just because of my work schedule and this being my daily driver for the time being. And now I'll be moving twice in the next 4 months! So she is going to have to hold on until the second move atleast. I'm hoping the issue is going to be the valve seals, but I'm preparing for the worst. Anyone had this issue and found more damage then just valve seals? Any cobra owners in the Chesapeake, VA area with reccomendations on a good shop to get some head work done and/or machine shop for the bottom end? Also I was reading about head interchangeability: mach1 and aviator heads are the same as ours? I may see if I can snag a set of those for build up. Thanks ahead of time [/QUOTE]
