Well, the shop didn't have plugs or coils to charge me for, so they wiped them down and added some oil into the combustion chamber, they said after the smoke cleared the shop and they could see again my 8 was running just fine, lol

I'm planning on ditching work in the near future and heading down. I'll be there around 2:30 or so.

Almost 900 miles on the new motor. Got 285 miles to a full tank when I drove up to Seattle. MPG would have been a little better if I did not get stuck in stop and go traffic leaving Seattle for about an hour.
