Never buy a car with a billet Advance Auto Parts oil cap. The previous owner probably ragged the shit out of this car.
Nevertheless, I hope you are able to fix the problem and have it running well in the end. Good luck.

Holy shit I just read this whole thread and I feel dumber already.... Can't you people type in complete sentences and use proper grammar and spelling anymore?
You bought a POS old used car that was modified and have the gall to complain about it having issues? You want a problem free car, go buy a new one.... or know what you're getting yourself into.

More than likely the guy you bought it from was just trying to get rid of it, then got it running half-ass in hopes of selling it to someone whos not sure what theyre looking at.
white smoke for the most part means youre burning coolant.
if whoever put it together didnt even bother to fix the smoking before selling it, get ready to find a ton of must up shit... goodluck
