alright well its not my Z24 thank god anyways i started up the 4dr and i noticed a very small amount of smoke goin out form hte engine bay,so i took a closer look and it seems like its coming from around the head but it was hard to tell as it was dark out,now if i gave it a quick rev more smoke would appear,anyone have any ideas?im guessing a bad headgasket or cracked/warped head

BTW its a 2.2 TBI motor,perhaps i will end up doin the MPFI topend swap or perhaps throw a V6 under the hood

By the looks of the pics, looks like a bad valve cover gasket.

Easy, bad valve cover gasket. Fix it and you should be fine. It may smoke till it burns off all the old oil so you may want to clean it up a bit.
