Is this smoke a bad thing? VIDEO

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...48009513550078



My pickup was recently rolled. Finally went to start it up yesterday and it would crank but not start. Pulled all the plugs, cleaned em off, and sprayed down the TB with starting fluid. Started up a bit rough at 1st but ran pretty smooth after a minute or two. SOB smoked like hell for about 20 minutes while it burned off all the oil in the cylinders, etc.

Im really happy to know that the engine runs. It sits in the bay slightly crooked, so I think I have a broken engine mount. It does move forward and reverse, which is also a good thing.

Owner of the body shop next door and 2 of his workers came running over, they thought it was on fire. hah

Someone sell me a cab now!

Hopefully that didn't kill your catalytic converters.

If it were oil, wouldn't it be burning more blue than white?
