[V8] not such great news today

[D Morralee]

I'm with Tom and Dave on this also (seafoam)... I've done the valves (Lapping and seals) on my 4.2. It takes time to do the job but if you haven't done the T Belt you could do that at the same time. One of the problems with the 4.2 is after a while the head gaskets start to leak at the back of the engine. The oil leaking from the back of the engine ends up on the exhaust .. hey there is smoke coming from your car ... not to worry it's a V8 :-)
