Alright, so I was running this thing to my graduation party and I didn't realize the radiator was low, it overheated, blew most of the oil out and left me stranded. Towed it home, put oil in it, put water in it, and it cranked and ran fine. Ran it all summer but it still wasn't going right. The fuel pump went out, and the week before I left for college I put a new gas tank, fuel pump and complete tune up on it. When I was tuning it I noticed the front right (I wanna say number 4) cylinder plug wire was burned through, I replaced it, and the truck seemed to run much much better. Two days after I put that 500 worth of parts into it, and two days before I leave for college, the motor decides to start smoking like nothing else. It still cranks up and runs great for about 10 minutes, then it starts smoking out place where you pour oil in the motor and it looks like it's smoking around the valve cover also. I'm going to be home over christmas break, and I really miss my truck so I'm going to tear into it, I was just wondering if y'all had any suggestions about what it might be. Thanks
