Hey Derek I think you have a burned out cylinder. This would sort of
explane why it stopes smoking when it gets hot. We all learned in science
cass that metal expands when it gets hot, thus it gets hot and the rings and
piston expand. This would give you more compression. Have your compression
checked and I bet you that atleast one cylinder would be low on compression.
