Help!

I have a 1998 E-350 limo coach. I bought it with the engine siezed up. It came with a engine from an auto recycler. The donor engine was from a 1997 F-250. I installed it and got it to start. BUT, it runs rough and inconsistant with tons and tons of white smoke. I did find out about the whole single shot injectors in the 97 a little to late. The 1998 runs a split shot injector.

I thought that was the main problem I had to take care of untill I seen an oil leak and followed it to the left header. I then cleaned the header to see exactlly where it was comming from and found that it was clearly from #8. I then ran a Cylinder contribution test and got P0284 which is #8 cylinder contribution/balance fault. Not sure what causes that or how to fix it but that confirms that the oil is from #8 I would assume.

Now that I have you completely suckered into my "venting" WHAT DO I DO?

White smoke=water
Black smoke =fuel
Blue smoke =oil

So double check the color

Recheck smoke, and check your fluids. Too bad you were not the one who obtained the replacement motor. Some places may have a guarantee on their engines....
Good luck.
