Yes, smokes on first start and after sitting a couple of hours. That used to be the only time it smoked, now since I adjusted the timing it smokes after idling for a couple of minutes.

The valve stem seals on the 2.6 does not appear to be as big of a problem as with the 3.0, but this engine did sit for about 10 years... I know the head needs to be reworked/replaced, I guess what I am trying to get at is other than fouling plugs will this do any permanent damage to anything?

I don't drive it far (couple of miles a day), but I don't want to let it sit either. So until I can save enough for the new head I wanted to keep running it.

Thank you,
Ryan
