About 6 months ago I had a mechanic tear the motor down all the way to the lower end, resurface the heads and replace components such as the head gasket, timing belt, valve cover gasket, and radiator. It turns out that 75% of cylinder 3 is leaking oil into the combustion chamber, and the motor needs replaced.
Aside from all the defects listed above, it actually runs decent when I replace the spark plug on cylinder, and cylinder is not misfiring. Obviously, with cylinder three misfiring and oil getting into the combustion chamber, there is a ridiculous amount of smoke that burns off initially.
I have a clean title in hand, and I'm asking $1,000.
Better photos will come in the next few days when I can snap some in the day light.
