Re: Confused?!?

What he means is that it isn't smoke, it's steam. Also, just because you didn't find coolant in the oil doesn't mean that your HG is fine or a head isn't cracked. Check for hydrocarbons in the coolant.

AS for the plugs, he's suggesting they're fouled. They can foul in a VERY short period of time. If they're fouled then the spark is weak. At WOT you can get spark blowout. This is where the cylinder pressure actually blows out the spark before it can ignite the air/fuel mixture.

I would suggest checking those two things first.
