[s-cars] Smoke pouring out pipes - mechanic wants to rebuild

[mlp]

Chris, you don't say who your mechanic is, or how much experience he has
with the AAN's.  I assume your mechanic's done a leak down, and is sure the
source of the smoke is (a) the rings, or (b) the valves, (c) the head gasket
& water; or (d) some combination of all the above.

Sometimes it can be the turbo and all the other parts could be ok.

Get some more information if you can before pushing the panic button all the
way in.  Some one like Justusson in Chicago ought to be able to put together
a complete kit of parts,..... if in fact that's what's called for.  How many
miles are on the motor?

Good luck
Mike
