    Depends on the kit plan on $15k at least.

    The blue smoke is the indicator though white I don't worry about the blue tint is what you need to worry about.

    It'll have a bluish tint to the smoke. Its like when you're using oil. The sky blue color you're describing is a good description

    Still no answer?

    I truly hope you mean 11,000 miles, still bad but not beyond repair.

    Nice long life for a Detroit, under the circumstances.

    A lot can happen in 8 months

    from not changing air filter

    see above

    probably not
