[QUOTE="Cobrainbound, post: 16794389, member: 199186"] 2003 cobra coupe 65000 miles. Had the engine rebuilt in fall of 2020 (it had a leaking intercooler and no compression on cylinder 8). I was not given a full parts list but what I was told (that I remember) was replaced: every seal and gasket inside the engine, pistons, intercooler, plugs, wires, valves/seats, hardware and oil cooler assembly, and tuned. There may be more but I moved shortly after and the company changed hands, so I never got a full list. The car has a stiegemeier ported Eaton, 2.76 upper, jlt cai, aem wideband, x2 DW300c fuel pumps, Deatschwerk 60lb injectors, and a 90mm MAF. The car has sat for a few months and now on cold start I am getting a white cloud of smoke and the smell of fuel. I pulled the plugs and they are all varying degrees of black and some are wet with something, not sure. I looked down into the plug holes and the "new" pistons have varying degrees on black build up. I dont seem to be losing oil or coolant and I cant take it back to the shop that rebuilt it. I spent over 16k having it rebuilt and am lost were I should start looking into the problem.
