Ok. I intially had a cold start issue, I smelled a little antifreeze when first started so I figured it was the lower intake gaskets (from what I read is common on these). I had surgery that put me down for about 7 months and I went to start it and it would turn over, I held it on start for about 10 seconds and it slowly started turning over. When it started, it was smoking white in unbelievable amounts like my house was on fire. I quickly shut it down and checked the oil to find it like chocolate milk. I am assuming I have one or two bad head gaskets along with the intake gaskets. Is there any tips or trick I need to know when pulling the heads. So far I have the upper plenum off, both valve covers, I unbolted the lower intake but can't seem to get it all the way off, it's like wiggling on the top of the injectors. Any help or insight would be appreciated. I only have 105,000 miles on it, I can't believe I've had so many problems with it so far, my rear brake line on the rear axle and the brake line that goes to the rear both rotted out, trans had to be re-done at 70,000 a/c compressor went at 80,000 etc. etc. etc.
