hey guys, got my car back from the painters and she's getting a charger upgrade and tune but she's running like sh@t! there is smoke coming out from the oil breather and when you take the oil cap off smoke comes out of there too! can someone please tell me what is going on!!!

ok thanks. haven't given her a full run just driven around town the last couple of days here and there. replaced the plugs and tested the leads. did an oil and oil filter change also. no difference. sounds like under about 1500rpm she is sticking but over that everything just frees up and its really starting to give me the sh@ts!

If there's smoke coming from the engine when you take the oil breather off, it means one thing: there's too much pressure in the engine oil areas, and this means one of two things:
1. Rings (more likely) 2. Valves AND stem seals
Now, as far as I understand it, a well looked after 1UZFE will last pretty much forever. You haven't had a low oil situation have you?
I'd be checking the pressure AFTER doing a compression test on each cylinder.
