Hello, I'm Danny.

Just a quick question first. After spending $4,000.00 on the rebuild didn't the place who did the work give you a warranty/guarantee? I would take it back to them first. Here is a tutorial showing what is commonly associated with black smoke:

Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
