Kyle, the valve guides were pressed in on the wrong side of the heads on the
3.0L, that's why they smoke. There was actually a recall for it, but as we
can all see, not too many people had it done. My neighbor has a 92 voyager
that doesn't smoke at all even after 200K miles, he had the recall done.
