so i get my car out of the shop and now it smokes like a bitch! fouled 2 plugs on the other side than what i was fckin with. where could the oil be comin from? this car has never smoked a day in its life. could the blower be sucking it out of the pvc valve? it doesn't smoke at idle only when u rev it up good. put new plugs in and it runs good, but still smokes.

Any background info? IE...what was it in the shop for? What was changed when you took it to the shop as it didn't smoke before.....

Any additional info will help.

it went in for valve cover gaskets, was leaking in back plug hole, tried to do it myself, and realized I was in over my head, fuel rails and such, put it back together, started driving to shop, had gone a little over a mile, got on it a little, ran hard then had the damnedest "clattering" noise as it fell dead. could it have floated a valve? sounded like the timing chain had come off. ( the rattling noise that it had) made that noise once or twice more. coughed and sputtered pouring black smoke. sometimes it would cough and die, sometimes it would run ok. limped it to shop. thought maybe got some gasket material into valve spring or timing chain, don't know. the guy that worked on it said that whole side was full of oil (plug holes), picked it up and now 2 plugs on the other side were oil fouled, they told me they had to take off plenum to get valve cover off. it has a vortec blower, and that's the reason it takes all the extra bs to get it off. they also said everything looked real good in the cam area. good even wear etc. nothing to be alarmed at. it burned a 1/4 tank of gas to go 7 miles. i've since changed plugs, runs much better but smokes when u rev it up.
